Phase I Archaeological Survey of the Thurman and Fairview Roads Project Area, Henry County, Georgia

The proposed project would consist of improvements to the intersection of Fairview Road and Thurman Road in Henry County. Thurman and Fairview Roads are two-lane urban facilities that intersect at the northern terminus of Thurman Road and form a "T" intersection. Due to the high volumes of traffic at this intersection, the proposed project would widen Thurman Road to add a right turn lane, and would widen Fairview Road to include a left turn lane for the east approach and a right turn lane for the west approach. A traffic signal also would be provided at the improved intersection. The proposed typical section along Thurman Road would consist of two 12-foot travel lanes and one 12-foot right turn lane with 8-foot shoulders (2-foot paved and 6-foot grassed). The proposed typical section along Fairview Road would consist of two 12-foot travel lanes, one 12-foot left turn lane and one 12-foot right turn lane with 8-foot shoulders (2-foot paved and 6-foot grassed). In some locations, an alternate 12-foot shoulder with curb and gutter would be used to minimize damage to existing development. Existing right-of-way along both roadways is approximately 80 feet. Right-of-way acquisition would be required along both roadways. There were negative findings.
