SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - The Georgia Department of Transportation hosted an industry forum to cover the proposed scope, procurement schedule, and potential risks for the 32.5-mile stretch of I-16.

The project is projected to cost $511 million, all paid for by the state, with plans to start construction in 2027.
