I-85 EXIT RAMPS @ SR 18

complete

The project is located in Troup County inside the city of West Point, Georgia approximately 1.22 miles from the most eastern border of the City Limits of West Point and 0.61 miles north of the Harris County line. The project proposes improvements to the I-85 Northbound exit ramp beginning at milepost 2.07 and the I-85 Southbound exit ramp beginning at milepost 2.49. The typical section after construction will consist of two 12-foot travel lanes with an 8-foot inside shoulder with 4-feet paved and a 12-foot outside shoulder with 10-feet paved. The project addresses operational and safety issues on the I-85 exit ramps and improves mobility through the I-85/SR 18 Interchange. Daily traffic volumes do not indicate severe congestion on SR 18 therefore improvements are not proposed for SR 18. Improvements have been proposed primarily to address operational and safety issues, including traffic queues backing up unto the interstate and I-85.
