SR 17 FROM SR 72 TO CR 309/DEEP CREEK ROAD

construction work program

Proposed project would widen State Route (SR) 17 from two lanes to four lanes beginning approximately 0.34 mile north of bridge SR 72 and ending approximately at the intersection with County Road (CR) 309/Deep Creek Road in Elbert County for a length of 2.95 miles. Existing roadway is two lanes with rural shoulders and roadside ditches in some locations. Proposed improvements include addition of turn lanes, through lanes, medians, minor operational improvements, intersection improvements, at-grade railroad crossing improvements and drainage improvements. The proposed typical section of the project may be reduced to two through lanes with a two-way center turn lane to avoid or minimize property and environmental impacts in some areas.
