Buford Highway to be repaved

The state Department of Transportation has awarded a contract to re-pave Buford Highway and repair bridge joints there, from Spring Street in Fulton County to the DeKalb County line, according to DOT spokesman David Spear and bid documents.

Contractor C.W. Matthews won the job for a low bid of $3.7 million.  The job is among $73.7 million worth of work awarded this month, and $756 million in the fiscal  year so far, as gas tax revenues continue recovering.
