On Tuesday, January 23, 2018, at Dodge County High School, 350 Pearl Bates Avenue, Eastman, Georgia 31023, the GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION will hold a Detour Open House concerning the projects listed above.

The existing typical sections of both bridges consist of two 11-foot travel lanes with 1.5-foot and 2-foot shoulders on both sides of each bridge. The proposed bridges would have typical sections consisting of two 12-foot travel lanes with 6foot shoulders on both sides of each bridge.
For PI No. 0013823, the proposed detour would utilize US 341 and SR 117 in addition to SR 165/Chauncey-Rhine Highway. For PI No. 0013824, the proposed detour would utilize US 341 and SR 87 in addition to SR 230/Lower River Road.
The purpose of this Detour Open House is to provide the public with an opportunity to view the proposed detours, ask questions, and to provide an opportunity for the public to comment on the projects and the proposed detours.
