NWGA: GDOT Names Joel Dillingham as New Area 4 Manager
CARTERSVILLE, GA - The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) named Joel Dillingham to take over as the new District 6 Area 4 Manager. Dillingham brings 18 years of experience at GDOT to his new position where he will oversee all of the construction and maintenance projects in Area 4, which covers Chattooga, Dade, Floyd, and Walker counties.

"I'm excited to lead our team as we continue to address the needs of the traveling public here in northwest Georgia," Dillingham said. "We have a lot of projects we are looking forward to getting underway in the near future."

Dillingham most recently served as the Assistant Area Construction Manager for Area 4, but his career has included stints in construction management and inspection, engineering technician, and project manager. As a Georgia native who grew up in Rome, Dillingham has watched and been a part of the state's growing infrastructure.

"Georgia is a fast-growing state," Dillingham. "Our team in Area 4 and all of GDOT will continue to enhance the roadways to keep all of Georgia on the move."

Advisory: Motorists are advised to expect delays, exercise caution, and reduce their speed while traveling through work zones. Before heading out, get real-time information on work status and traffic conditions. Call 511, visit 511ga.org, or download the Georgia 511 app. Our maintenance team members who repair roads and bridges and our project teams who oversee construction projects are continuing their essential work, while following sanitary work practices prescribed by health agencies to protect themselves and the public from the coronavirus, as are most state DOTs in the U.S.
