The project will focus along Haynes Bridge Road and Georgia Lane and includes demolition, haul off, disposal of debris, sodding, grassing, traffic loop detection replacement and new sidewalk panels and updated handicap ramps.

Approximately 5,700 feet of sidewalk and 39 handicap ramps will be repaired or replaced with ADA-compliant requirements. Only the areas with the worst conditions are included in this scope of work.

Depending on weather delays, construction should be completed within 120 days.
