The Georgia DOT says an early projected price tag for a reconfigured intersection at Highway 316 and Jimmie Daniel Road stands at $75 million. It’s work that could begin in 2024 and wrap up three years later. The DOT’s Kyle Collins says one plan calls for two traffic circles to replace the intersection in Oconee County.

The Georgia Department of Transportation is completing a series of reconstruction projects along the State Route (SR ) 316 corridor from SR 20 in Gwinnett County to SR 10 in Oconee County. The primary challenges to be addressed are high crash rates and congestion. The projects are proposed to reduce potential crash frequency and severity and improve operations and mobility along the corridor.
