The proposed projects would consist of the widening and reconstruction of Panola Road between Snapfinger Road (SR 155) on the southern terminus and Covington Highway on the northern terminus in DeKalb County (see Figure 1). Bike lanes, sidewalks, and medians would be constructed along the widened roadway. The south end of the existing roadway (south of the I-20 interchange) would be widened from two 12-foot travel lanes (one in each direction) to three 12-foot travel lanes with a 20-foot varying flush or raised median. The north end of the existing roadway (north of the I-20 interchange) would be widened from four 12-foot travel lanes (two in each direction) to six 12-foot travel lanes (three in each direction) with a variable 20- to 32-foot raised median. In addition, the proposed projects would construct 4-foot bike lanes and 5-foot sidewalks along the entire project corridor. All crossroad intersections would be improved, including improvements to approach lane configurations and turn lane lengths.
