Abstract

The proposed roadway would be constructed primarily on new location with a four-lane typical section and 20-foot raised median, with rural 10-foot shoulders, 6.5 feet of which would be paved. A four-foot paved bike lane would be included within the 6.5-foot paved portion of the shoulder. The roadway is to have a 45 mile per hour (mph) speed design. This project begins on Springdale Drive at the point where East Lake Road Extension Phase I, ends. From this point, the alignment curves southeast and joins existing Wolf Creek Drive approximately 700 feet east of the Springdale Drive intersection. It then follows the Wolf Creek Drive alignment for approximately 1,200 feet, crossing Wolf Creek. At this point that existing Wolf Creek Drive curves due east to enter the Henry County Water Authority property, the alignment would continue south, and then curve east immediately north of the Georgia Power Easement. Prior to crossing the easement, the alignment would encroach into the southwest corner of the Water Authority's Spray Field #2, requiring about 0.9 acres. The alignment continues east for approximately 500 feet and then curves south-southwest through the easement, avoiding the electrical towers. South of the Georgia Power Easement, the alignment continues in a south-southeast direction for approximately 2,200 feet, through wooded, undeveloped land. In this section it crosses two unnamed creeks before curving east to meet existing Price Quarters Road approximately 1,000 feet from its intersection with S.R. 155. The alignment then continues along existing Price Quarters Road, before terminating at the existing intersection with S.R. 155. Principal Investigator Lynn Marie Pietak, PhD hereby certifies that the Area of Potential Effect (as described on page 1 of this form) for GDOT Project ML-0004-00 (645) has been thoroughly surveyed for archaeological resources and that no such resources were located or identified.
