P. I. 0014904
PIKE COUNTY
Notice is hereby given in compliance with Georgia Code 22-2-109 and 32-3-5 that the Georgia Department of Transportation has approved the Location and Design of this project.
The date of location and design approval is: December 30, 2019
The project proposes to replace the bridge on SR 109 @ Gola Creek in Pike County (located 1-mile E of Meansville). The total length of the project is approximately 1365 feet, beginning 815 feet west of the existing bridge and ending 520 feet east of the existing bridge. The proposed bridge will be built in the same location as the existing bridge. The proposed bridge will be a one-span bridge, approximately 90 feet long by 39.08 feet wide over Gola Creek and will be constructed on the existing alignment. Traffic currently utilizing SR 109 as a through route will utilize an off-site detour. This project is located 100% in Pike County, Congressional District 3 and located within GMD 551 in Pike County.
The bridge improvements include two 12-foot travel lanes with six-foot shoulders on both sides of the bridge. The roadway typical section on both approaches to the bridge consist of two 12-foot travel lanes with six-foot overall shoulders that includes two feet paved and four feet unpaved. During construction, an off-site detour will be utilized to accommodate traffic currently using SR 109 as a through route.
Drawings or maps or plats of the proposed project, as approved, are on file and are available for public inspection at the Georgia Department of Transportation:
