State transportation officials say plans to renovate Dawson County’s busiest intersection are ahead of schedule. The process to begin acquiring land at the crossing of Ga. 400 and Hwy. 53 could begin in the next six months, according to project manager Robert Murphy. "Our right of way funding is scheduled for 2013, but I have asked our executive committee if we could fund the right of way early, which would put it in 2012," he said.
