SR 17 FROM VINSON ROAD/WILKES TO N OF ROBINWOOD LANE/ELBERT

long range program

The project proposes to widen SR 17 from two-lanes to four-lanes and is classified as a rural principal arterial. A flush median will be utilized throughout the project corridor ranging from 4-ft to a 14-ft two-way left-turn lane. Bike lanes will be present from Slay Rd. to Robinwood Lane. The widening will require the replacement of a bridge over Dry Fork Creek. A bridge over Broad River and a bridge over Broad River Overflow are programmed for construction as separate projects. The Broad River bridge is Structure ID 317-0009-0 and the project is PI #0016530. The Broad River Overflow bridge is Structure ID 317-0008-0 and PI #0016533. The project will begin at Vinson Road in Wilkes County, where it will tie into a separate GDOT project (PI No. 222260, SR 17 from Washington bypass to Vinson Road (CR 193)) and will end at Robinwood Lane (existing 5-lane section) in Elbert County. The total length of the project is approximately 12.2 miles.
