Project STP-0573(15), Telfair County: Proposed Paving of Shoulders Along SR 117 from the Dodge County Line to SR 31; the proposed project consists of the paving of shoulders along SR 117 from the Dodge County Line to SR 31 (see attached map). Total project length is approximately 24 kilometers (14.6 miles). The existing two-lane facility would have an additional 0.6 meter (2 feet) of pavement put down along the right and left shoulders. All proposed activity would occur within existing right-of-way. The corridor passes through mostly rural areas and has had sparse residential and commercial development occur along it.
The majority of houses along the corridor are modern and few pre-World War II dwellings are to be found.
The area of potential effect for this project is considered to be limited to the existing right-of- way, within which all proposed activity would occur. This project does not have the potential to visually affect any eligible resources located outside the existing right-of-way because no slopes would be changed and all paving would be done at existing grade.
