Project EDS-IM-545(19) proposes to widen and reconstruct a portion of SR 17 in Franklin County. The project begins on SR 17 approx. 0.40 miles southeast of the northbound I-85 ramps. The proposed roadway consists of 4-12 ft. lanes divided by a 20 ft. raised median that extends for approx. 0.80 miles crossing I-85. The typical section then transitions to a 4-12 ft. lanes divided by a 14 ft. flush median that extends 0.70 miles. At this point, the typical section transitions again to 4-12 ft. lanes divided by a 44 ft. depressed grassed median that extends for approx. 2.44 miles to the project terminus approx. 4,100 ft. southeast of the Stephens County line. The existing bridge over I-85 has a sufficiency rating of 58.26 and will be replaced. The total length of this project is approximately 4.00 miles in length and this road improvement will be removing substandard curves and grades.
