SR 203 @ DRY CREEK 5.7 MILES NW OF SCREVEN

complete

This project is the replacement of a structurally deficient bridge on SR 203 over Dry Creek, 5.7 miles northwest of Screven, Georgia. The existing bridge, constructed in 1957, is load limited with a sufficiency rating of 44. State Route 203 at this location is a rural two lane roadway with 12' travel lanes with rural shoulders. This section of SR 203 is functionally classified as a rural major collector. Traffic is projected to be 1400 VPD and 2550 VPD in the years 2010 and 2030 respectively. The posted speed and the design speed are 55 MPH. The construction proposes to construct a new 90' x 40' concrete bridge over Dry Creek at the existing bridge site. The approaches will consist of two, 12' lanes with 10' rural shoulders (4' paved). Traffic will be maintained during construction utilizing an on-site detour.
