The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) proposes to replace the Hudson River bridge on SR 59, in Banks County, Georgia (PI No. 0015533). The existing bridge will be dismantled, and a new bridge will be constructed on existing alignment. An offsite detour will be implemented while the bridge is under construction. New South Associates, Inc., conducted a Phase I Archaeological Survey of the project’s Environmental Survey Boundary (ESB) to determine if it contains archaeological resources eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The ESB consists of a 2,480-foot segment of roadway that encompasses the new bridge locations and approach roads. The ESB varies from 300-500 feet in width.
