This report presents an archeological survey of project BR-0001-00(366) in Montgomery and Wheeler Counties. This proposed project consists of the replacement of three structurally deficient bridges on SR 30/US 280 over the Oconee River and two overflows, 2.0 miles east of the City of Glenwood, Georgia on the Montgomery/Wheeler County Line. The proposed new bridges would be constructed on new location directly south of the existing bridges (beginning approximately 20' south of the existing bridges). The existing right-of-way on SR 20/US 280 is approximately 300'. The new bridges will be built within the existing right-of-way of SR 30/US 280, except at the east and west ends of the project corridor. At the west end of the project new right-of-way is required, varying from 5' to 100', for approximately 1,750'. At the east end, new right-of-way is required, varying from 0' to 20', for approximately 950'. Total project length is 1.6 miles. No existing or eligible National Register resources were located within the project's area of potential environmental effect. It is concluded, therefore, that the project will have no effect upon archeological resources on or eligible for inclusion in the NRHP provided that the project conforms to that described above.
