I-85 @ CR 103/POPLAR ROAD - NEW INTERCHANGE

complete

Project CSNHS-0009-00(323) proposes to construct a new interstate access point along I-85 at Poplar Road just east of the City of Newnan in central Coweta County Georgia. The project would include the construction of a fully directional interchange with entrance and exit ramps, removal and replacement of the existing Poplar Road overpass, and the widening and reconstruction of Poplar Road approaching and departing the proposed interchange. The typical cross section of Poplar Road would include four 11-foot wide lanes (two in each direction) separated by a raised 20-foot wide median with urban shoulder sections. The proposed cross section would incorporate pedestrian friendly streetscape facilities and amenities including 5-foot wide sidewalks illuminated by overhead street lights. The typical cross section of the interchange ramps will consist of a 16-foot wide travel lane with a six-foot wide (4-foot paved) inside shoulder and an 8-foot wide (6-foot paved) outside shoulder.
