A long-sought transportation problem in Geneva County will soon be addressed by state dollars.

Hundreds of cars and 18-wheelers turn into reliable metal products from State Highway 27.

Over the years, the roadway has caused several tragic accidents in Geneva.

The company employs around 800-Wiregrass residents.

State Senator Harri Anne Smith says the Alabama Department of Transportation will spend a half-million dollars to build a turn-lane into the facility.

Senator Smith has also announced a similar turn-lane project which will lead into the dairy fresh plant in Cowarts.
