The project has a budget of more than $980,000. Moffatt & Nichol, Inc. designed it and the contractor is Georgia Bridge & Concrete, LLC. Work is expected to be completed in 10 months. Detour signs are now in place, directing drivers to alternate routes.
Present at the ceremony were District I Commissioner Bo Moss, District III Commissioner Gary Barham, County Manager Lyndon Bonner, SPLOST Transportation Director Roque Romero, SPLOST Project Manager Bert Bevins, SPLOST Engineer Chae Yi, and other county employees.
“This is going to be a full blown bridge, completely torn down and rebuilt,” Commissioner Moss told the news agency. “Again, I want to thank the citizens for voting for SPLOST, supporting SPLOST, and we’re doing all of this one penny at a time.”
