GRIFFIN - The Georgia DOT will hold a Detour Open House on Thursday, May 2, 2019 from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. at the Jordan Hill Elementary School, 75 Jordan Hill Road in Griffin, Georgia. The event regards P.I. No. 331910 - Spalding County, which proposes a needed bridge replacement on County Road 508/Jordan Hill Road at Troublesome Creek in Griffin. The existing structurally-deficient bridge would be replaced with a new bridge that would be approximately 90 feet long by 43 feet wide with two 12-foot lanes and 10-foot shoulders. The proposed right-of-way would require 60 additional feet, 30 feet on each side of the roadway, for a total of 140 feet of right-of-way. The bridge would be designed for a speed of 45 miles-per-hour. The approximate project length is .23 miles. A detour would be utilized during construction.
The Open House will provide the public with an opportunity to view the proposed detour, ask questions and comment on the project and the proposed detour. The event will be informal and citizens are invited to attend any time during the hours. There will be no formal presentation. A court reporter will be present to allow the public the opportunity to verbally comment.
Written statements concerning this project will be accepted until Thursday, May 16, 2019, and may be submitted to: Mr. Eric Duff, State Environmental Administrator, Georgia DOT, 600 West Peachtree Street NW - 16th Floor, Atlanta, GA 30308.
