Funds provided by the GDOT Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant will be used to resurface over 5 miles of Valdosta city streets.
Release:
The City of Valdosta will resurface 5.24 miles of city streets using funds provided by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant (LMIG), beginning this spring.
The LMIG transportation funding is allocated from the state based on a formula that includes population and street mileage. The city submitted a list of streets for resurfacing to GDOT for their review, and 50 portions of city streets were prioritized for this year’s LMIG program based on funding availability and conditions of the roads.
The city has successfully used LMIG funds in the past to repave streets and to provide smoother and safer travel for motorists throughout the city.
Streets may be closed for a short duration during the day while under construction, but they will be opened by the end of each working day. Motorists are urged to follow all traffic warning signs and proceed around these construction sites with caution.

In February of 2019, the City contracted with Infrastructure Management Systems (IMS) to analyze the pavement and underlying base conditions of the City’s entire roadway network. Using sophisticated testing equipment and software, IMS recommended and ranked every roadway with a specific surface treatment to be applied to extend the life of the roadway. This approach saves money by extending the pavement life and prolonging the need for major reconstruction. The 2022 Street List is based on the IMS
prioritization in conjunction with the Engineering Department’s review.
