CR 59/FRIENDSHIP CHURCH ROAD @ ALLIGATOR CREEK

under construction

Bridge Replacement of Friendship Church Road at Alligator Creek. This bridge is structurally deficient and requires posting due to heavy scour on both abutments, vertical cracking on and between beams and deck abrasion. This project is part of the Low Impact Bridge Program (LIBP) that will replace the existing bridge on CR 59/Friendship Church Road over Alligator Creek approximately 7 miles northwest of Jacksonville, Georgia. The proposed roadway typical section consists of two 10-foot travel lanes, one in each direction, with 4-foot shoulders (2-ft paved). The proposed two-lane bridge will be 33 feet, out to out width, and 120 feet in length. The project has an approximately total project length of 0.20 miles. The new bridge will be closed at the same location as the existing bridge. The bridge will be closed during construction and traffic will be directed to an offsite detour approximately 6 months. Total construction time will be approximately 12 months.
