Georgia plans to spend about 40% of the $1.5 billion in additional transportation funding lawmakers approved on increasing the Georgia Department of Transportation’s capital construction program.

The federal government is sending more than $45.3 million in federal taxpayer money to three Georgia transit agencies, including money for two systems to buy battery-electric buses.

At the request of Georgia Central Railroad, the Georgia Department of Transportation is closing a grade crossing on State Route 204 between the east and west intersection of Arden Loop Circle near Ellabell in Bryan County for three days.
