CR 581/BETHSAIDA RD @ MORNING CREEK TRIBUTARY

complete

This project is the replacement of a structurally deficient bridge on C.R. 581/Bethsaida Rd over Morning Creek Tributary, 3.4 miles east of Union City, Georgia. The existing bridge, constructed in 1952, is load limited with a sufficiency rating of 12. This project proposes to construct a new concrete bridge over Morning Creek Tributary at the existing bridge site. The new approaches will consist of two, 12' lanes with 4' bike lanes, 10' urban shoulders that include 2.5' curb and gutter, and a 5' sidewalk. The bridge typical section will consist of two, 12' lanes in each direction with 4' bike lane and 6' sidewalks. The construction will be staged with two lanes being maintained on the existing bridge while a portion of the new bridge is constructed parallel to the existing bridge. Traffic will be routed on the new structure. The remaining portion of the new bridge will be constructed after the demolition of the existing structure.
