CR 120/HOWELL RD @ ALAPAHA RIVER OVERFLOW 2.5 MI E OF HOWELL

construction work program

This project would replace the existing bridge (Structure ID 101-0027-0) on County Route (CR) 120/Howell Road over Alapaha River Overflow. The new bridge will be constructed on the existing alignment, while traffic is directed to an offsite detour. The offsite detour will utilize GA 135, SR 38/US 84, and SR 11/US 129. The detour route length is 18.3 miles; an increase of 15.1 miles from the normal route length. The detour adds 17 minutes to the travel time. The proposed roadway consists of two 11-ft lanes (one in each direction) with 4-ft shoulders. The proposed bridge is 216-ft long and 33-ft 1-in wide. The proposed profile will be raised approximately 2-ft 4-in to increase the flat longitudinal slope to above the minimum, 0.5%, and locate the low point off the proposed bridge. The proposed right-of-way (ROW) width will increase from 100-ft to 155-ft.
