  GDOT Communications Officer Craig Solomon said the intersection improvement was due to the increased volume of traffic, including truck traffic, being experienced in Senoia.
  
  He said the year-long intersection improvement will result in the installation of a traffic light and left turn lanes on all corners to help ease traffic congestion.
  
  The current roadway should be wide enough to handle the addition of turn lanes, though installing the turn lane on Broad Street will require that at least a portion of the median be removed, he said.
  
  Solomon said single-lane closures will be scheduled sporadically as they are called for during the intersection improvement project. The project is anticipated to be completed in September 2010.
  
  Solomon reminded motorists to reduce speeds and use extreme caution as they travel through this construction work zone. Message signs, barrels, cones, and flaggers will be utilized to alert the public of the upcoming changes and direct traffic. Drivers should be aware that personnel and equipment will be operating in close proximity to travel lanes, Solomon said.

  DOT Communications Officer Craig Solomon said the proposal came from public input, historical considerations and environmental concerns. It was not the final plan, however, as the meetings were a chance to gather more public input and make any changes.
  
  Among the most significant proposed changes was creating a bypass around the City of Doerun, Solomon said. Much of the current roadway with the exception of the Doerun bypass will remain almost identical to the current Sunbelt Parkway. Access to Doerun will still be available.
  
  Another difference would be speed limit changes, as Solomon said the rural speed limit would be 65 mph and in urban areas 45 mph. The road would run four lanes with a 44-foot median the entire way from Moultrie to Albany and would be broken up into four separate projects. It was not known, however, when the projects would be put in motion.
  
  "State Route 133, the Sunbelt Parkway, is an important corridor in the Governor's Road Improvement Program (GRIP)," Solomon said. "Major projects such as this proposed route require considerable time for planning, design and right-of-way acquisition prior to their actual construction. While construction of 133 is not funded at this time, it is important to continue to move forward with the planning and public input process so that the various phases of the project can move forward if and when construction funds become available."
  
  The meetings held Tuesday discussed only the section of Highway 133 from Moultrie to Albany, Solomon said.

  It could be up to two months before a contractor is chosen for the project, said Craig Solomon, DOT public information officer.
  
  Not unlike other state agencies, DOT has taken a financial hit this year.The agency is taking a close look at funding and projects.Some projects have fallen by the wayside during DOT's shortfall.
  
  Solomon said Monday that if the project is let for bids, chances are good it will be done.
  
  DOT considers the intersection work a safety project, he said."It's a positive thing," he added.
