(Cleveland)- The Georgia Department of Transportation held an area Statewide transportation Improvement Program, or STIP  open house  in Helen Thursday.   The open houses gives the DOT a chance to share with citizens transportation projects on the planning table.  

Pope, District DOT spokeswoman said,  one  project that people  in White County always ask about is what is the latest on the Cleveland Bypass project.  She said right now they are still working to complete all the right of way acquisitions. As for construction Pope said there is no money available, but they are perusing different avenues to get that funding, because not only is this project important to the local area is a vital part of the state transportation system.    

She also said, there  are two new projects proposed for White County.  These new projects are called "roundabouts",  a circular type intersection.  The roundabouts are proposed for two intersections on state route 384, Duncan Bridge Road.  One at highway  255 and 254 intersections. Right now there is no funding for the design  or construction.
