Marietta-based C.W. Matthews Contracting Co. was the low bidder for an 8.6-mile federal resurfacing project that runs from just south of Georgia Highlands College in Floyd County to a little past Stephens Road north of Cedartown.

Another recent federal project involves the repaving of U.S. 278, Nathan Dean Parkway, mostly in Polk County. Calhoun-based Northwest Georgia Paving Inc. was the low-bidder at just under $6.5 million.
