SR 96 FM E OF MOODY RD TO OLD HAWKINSVILLE RD - PHASE III

complete

This project is the widening and reconstruction of SR 96 from Moody Road to Old Hawkinsville/Thompson Mill Road, for a total of 3.392 miles. The existing roadway consists of two - 12-foot lanes with rural shoulders. The build year traffic (2016) is 19,150 VPD and the design year traffic (2036) is 28,550 vehicles per day (VPD). The posted speed limit and the design speed limit is 45 mph. This project will improve truck access and provide a multi-lane facility between I-75 and I-16. The proposed construction will provide four - 12-foot lanes with a 44-foot depressed grassed median from Moody Road to just west of Old Perry Road. A four lane section with a 24-foot raised median will be utilized for the remainder of the project. Four-foot bike lanes and 5-foot sidewalk would be included along both sides of SR 96, with the exception of the SR 247/US129 Interchange area where pedestrians will continue along Old Perry Road and Old Hawkinsville Road would be realigned.
