I-75 @ SR 215

complete

The project will modifty the existing interchange of I-75 at SR 215 approximately two miles east of downtown Vienna. The approved proposed widening of SR 215 from just west of the intersection of SR 215 at Pig Jig Road to the intersection of SR 215 at Cason Road for approximately 1.0 mile, including the replacement of the existing bridge carrying SR 215 over I-75. The existing two lane bridge carrying SR 215 over I-75 would be replaced with a three lane bridge (one through lane in each direction with a 14’ wide center turn lane).Right turn lanes will be provided from and onto SR 215. The proposed bridge would be designed to accommodate future widening of I-75. The ramps will be reconstructed to provide improved acceleration and deceleration, and to provide ramp terminal spacing of 1000 feet. The project would improve capacity and safety by providing sufficient storage space for vehicles and trucks on the bridge and ramp geometry that meets current design standards.
