The purpose of this project is to replace a structurally deficient bridge (Structure ID 195-5042-0) carrying Old Wildcat Bridge Road over Mason Mill Creek in Madison County, Georgia (Figure 1). Originally, this project was a candidate for the Low Impact Bridge Program (LIBP); however the project has since been removed from the LIBP due a lack of sufficient existing Right-of-Way (ROW) to replace the bridge. The existing Right-of-Way (ROW) varies from 100 feet to 150 feet. Plans are still in development and required ROW, easements, and proposed detours were not known at the time of survey.
The project is now state funded as a result of its removal from the LIBP program. This project was originally surveyed in 2017 for archaeological resources as part of the Low Impact Bridge Program. Since that time, the project has added the need for required ROW and easements and was dropped from the Low Impact Bridge Program. A new Environmental Survey Boundary (ESB), intended to encompass all potential design changes for the proposed project, was provided.
