GDOT taking public input on Summerville bypass project

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is seeking public feedback on a proposed bypass around the City of Summerville that would reroute traffic along the southwest side of town. The proposed project, known as Project #621082, aims to enhance traffic flow and safety by diverting through-traffic away from downtown Summerville.

The new bypass would connect three key state routes—SR 100, SR 114, and SR 27—and offer an alternative route for traffic currently passing through the city center.

Georgia DOT has proposed a localized bypass of the City of Summerville along the southwest side of town with roundabouts proposed at SR 114, SR100, and SR1/US27.

Construction is expected to begin in 2026.

GDOT has launched an online public outreach page to provide more information about the project and to collect community feedback. Residents can visit the website at:
