GUYTON — A series of City of Guyton projects are on the move thanks to Effingham County’s one percent sales tax for transportation use.

The City of Guyton has $1,348,974,54 set aside for repaving and drainage work.

“We bonded it with (the City of Springfield) and (the Effingham County Board of Commissioners) so we will have that full amount to utilize here shortly,” Mayor Russ Deen said April 8. “We’ve already bid out $750,000 worth of projects that are in the process of being paved right now. We’ve got another project — the Crossgate project — out to bid, which is estimated to be around $300,000 but we will know that when the bids come back.”

The Crossgate work will involve repairing and repaving roads. Drainage fixes aren’t included.

“Crossgate does have issues on both sides of the aisle but it has significant paving issues and this will remedy that for the entire subdivision.”

Other areas set for TSPLOST projects include:

— Glenmore Drive ($43,000)

— Guyton Elementary School exit ($40,000)

— West Central Boulevard (Ga. Hwy 119 to Halfway Road, $217,500)

— Powell Road (4th Street to Brogdon Road, $50,000)

— Central Boulevard (Post Office to Lynn Bonds, $70,000)

— Del A Rae Circle ($182,500)

—  Brogdon Road (Magnolia to city limits, $135,00)

_ Lynn Bonds (Ga. Hwy 17 to Church, $57,905)

— Reese Lane ($15,000)

— Dilmus Jackson Lane ($75,000)

— Cherry Street (Samuel Smalls to Brogdon, $45,000)

— Drainage improvements ($25,000)

Approximately 193,000 is reserved for surveying/engineering/testing and a 10 percent contingency.

“We were waiting on (Georgia Department of Transportation) to give us permission (to proceed on the) Guyton Elementary School exit as it’s on a state road,” Deen said. “They recently cleared that so that’ll be going out to bid shortly.”

Reese Lane requires addition engineering and permitting before it can be put out to bid.
