Cherokee County extends Transart bridge project boundaries

Responding to requests of neighboring property owners, the Cherokee County Board of Commissioners has agreed to pay its engineering consultant an additional $25,950 to extend by 300 feet the project survey area for the Transart Parkway bridge replacement project at Toonigh Creek.

Heath & Lineback Engineers Inc. is completing the engineering for the project, while the county has been acquiring right-of-way and construction easements, staff told commissioners.

“During the right-of-way negotiations, some of the affected parcel owners have requested that the project limits and drainage improvements along Transart Parkway extend past the currently designed project limits,” staff said.
