SR 1/US 27 @ SR 166 IN CARROLLTON

complete

The proposed project is the Interchange Reconstruction/Rehabilitation of SR 1/US 27 and SR 166. This project would provide for ramp reconstruction and the widening of the US 27/SR 1 twin bridges over SR 166 in Carrollton, GA. The existing section of US 27/SR 1 has minimal room for left turns. During heavy traffic hours this results in the 4-lane roadway becoming a 2-lane roadway, due to left turn lane traffic encroaching onto the inside travel lane of each bridge. It is proposed in this project to widen each of the twin bridges to allow for dual left turn lanes to accommodate heavy left turn movements. The proposed improvements would widen the existing bridge by adding spans to the inside of the already existing bridges. Additionally, interchange ramps will be reconstructed to meet current standards and match the new interchange layout. This project will be constructed within the existing limits of the interchange.
