CR 120/HOWELL ROAD @ CONNELL BRANCH 1.5 MI E OF HOWELL

construction work program

The proposed project will construct a replacement bridge for the existing bridge over Connell Branch. The preferred alternative proposes to build the replacement bridge on the existing alignment and divert traffic to an offsite detour during construction. The offsite detour will utilize SR 38/US 84, SR 135, and SR 11/US 129. The detour route length is 18.3 MI; an increase of 15.1 MI from the normal route length. The detour adds 17 minutes to the travel time. The typical section consists of two (2) – 11-ft lanes with a 4-ft shoulder along the roadway. The approximate project length is 0.2 MI. The preferred alternative does not impact the intersection of CR 120/Howell Road with Valentine Road. The proposed profile will be raised by approximately 2-ft 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 150-ft.
