Today, Congressman David Scott announced the inclusion of Gwinnett County transportation projects in the federal surface transportation bill. The Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (TEA-LU) passed the House today by a vote of 417-9 and reauthorizes the federal highway and transit programs for six years. Congressman Scott successfully included surface transportation projects for Georgia's 13th Congressional District in the bill.
Gwinnett County: $500,000 to create a new interchange at SR 316/SR 20. $500,000 for infrastructure upgrades to Highway 78. Transportation issues are important to the 13th Congressional District, which includes five Interstate Highways (I-75, I-85, I-285, I-685, and I-20) as well as part of Hartsfield International Airport, the busiest airport in the world. TEA-LU now heads to the Senate for consideration. |
