This project proposes a bridge replacement on CR 11/Dove-Drake Road over Mill Shoal Creek, in Madison County approximately 10 miles north of Comer. The existing bridge over Mill Shoal Creek was built in 1962. The existing bridge consists of 3 spans and the design loading is unknown. The bridge is load restricted and is scour critical. The road way at the bridge consists of two 10-foot lanes (one in each direction) and approximately 2-foot unpaved shoulders. The existing bridge consists of two 10-foot lanes (one in each direction) and approximately 2-foot shoulders. The existing right-of-way is approximately 80-feet wide, and additional right-of-way is anticipated. An off-site detour is proposed during construction which will utilize Reed Brawner Road, Mill Shoal Church Road, and Parham-Dudley Road and have a net length increase in travel of 1.8 miles. GDOT has placed infor mation about the proposed project at https://www.dot. ga.gov/GDOT/Pages/Publi- cOutreach.aspx.
