CR 279/COFFEE ROAD @ LITTLE CREEK 8 MI W OF MORVEN

construction work program

A bridge replacement project located 8 miles west of Morven in Brooks County, Ga. The new bridge will be constructed on the existing alignment, while traffic is directed to an offsite detour. The existing roadway consists of two 11-foot lanes (one in each direction) with variable (1-foot typical) paved shoulders. The ROW width is 80-120 feet. The existing bridge is 136 feet long and 32.3 feet wide. The proposed bridge will be 160-ft in length and consist of one 11-ft lane and 4-ft shoulder in each direction. The roadway typical section will consist of two 11-ft lanes with 5.5-ft shoulders and have a maintained posted speed limit of 50 mph. The proposed profile would provide the required clearance over the design flood and account for the deeper beam depth. The project begins approximately 0.16 miles west of the existing bridge and ends approximately 0.14 miles east along CR 279/Coffee Road for a total project length of approximately 0.32 miles.
