The Georgia Department of Transportation has completed its study on SR 316, which includes a large section of the highway in Barrow County.
The study examined the entirety of SR 316, stretching from I-85 in Gwinnett County to SR 10 in Oconee County.
"GDOT is currently undertaking several SR 316 reconstruction projects under an initiative referred to as Transforming State Route 316. As part of this initiative, multiple crossings between SR 20 in Gwinnett County and the SR 10 Loop in Oconee County are in various stages of being improved, from fully completed, under construction, or in engineering design. After completion of the SR 316 reconstruction projects, 12 at-grade crossings will remain. This SR 316 Planning Study addresses these crossings for which decisions regarding improvement type, funding, and implementation time frame have not yet been finalized. The intent of these crossing improvements is to bring the corridor to a limited-access facility."
