Abstract

Talbotton/Warm Springs Road Road will be widened for 1.9 miles between 7th Ave. and Woodruff Road/Hilton Ave in Columbus, Georgia. The typical section along Talbotton Road/Warm Springs Road from the beginning of the project northward to the intersection with 29th Street (Talbotton Road becomes Warm Springs Road at the intersection with 12th Avenue) will be two 11-foot lanes in each direction separated by a 12-foot wide flush median; from the intersection with 29th Street northward to the intersection with 35th Street will be two 12-foot lanes in each direction with no median; from 35th Street northward to the intersection with Crestview Drive will be two 11-foot lanes in each direction separated by a 12-foot wide flush median; and from Crestview Drive northward to the intersection with Woodruff Road/Hilton Avenue the typical section will be two 11-foot lanes separated by a 16-foot wide raised median. The existing ROW width ranges from 48’ – 251’ (60’ average width – Talbotton Rd., 50’ average width – Warm Springs Rd.) (251’ includes Warm springs Rd., Talbotton Rd. and Railroad bed/Bike trail). The proposed ROW width ranges from 76’ – 120’ (80’ average width).
