The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has unveiled a proposal for a localized bypass route along the southwest side of Summerville, aimed at improving traffic flow and safety in the city. The project includes plans for roundabouts at three key intersections: State Route 114, State Route 100, and State Route 1/U.S. 27.
As part of its public outreach efforts, GDOT has launched an online engagement portal where residents can learn more about the proposed bypass and provide feedback. Community input will play a vital role in shaping the project.
An in-person Public Information Open House (PIOH) is scheduled for Tuesday, July 22, 2025, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Chattooga County Civic Center. Attendees will have the opportunity to review detailed plans, speak with GDOT representatives, and submit written comments on-site.
The public comment period remains open through August 15, 2025. GDOT encourages all residents, business owners, and stakeholders to review the plans and share their opinions.
