Second Addendum to the Archaeological Survey of the Proposed SR 44 Improvements Project, Putnam and Greene Counties, Georgia.

Project P.I. No. 0006252 is located in Putnam and Greene counties, with the preferred alternate beginning at a new intersection with United States (US) 441/State Route (SR) 24 approximately 1.1 miles north of the intersection of US 441/SR 24 and Reids Road and continuing east on new alignment to Lower Harmony Road. The project alignment was shifted a maximum of 230 feet to the west for approximately 4,800 feet in this area to avoid a linear impact to Perennial Stream 9. From Lower Harmony Road SR 44 will follow a realigned Dance Road to a new intersection with existing SR 44 and will continue along the existing SR 44 alignment and end at the intersection of SR 44 and Linger Longer Road, for a total mainline distance of 11.8 miles. The project alignment was shifted a maximum of 60 feet to the north for approximately 1,700 feet to avoid the 9GE1894 archaeology site. The project consists of widening SR 44 from the existing two-lane road to a four-lane road with both rural and urban sections.

The rural section, which includes a 32 foot depressed median, both an 11 foot and 12 foot lane in each direction and a bike able 6.5 foot paved shoulder will go from the beginning of the project at US 441/SR 24 and continue as described above to approximately 1,500 feet north of Alexander Road and SR 44 intersection. The urban section, which includes a 16 foot raised median, bike lanes, sidewalk and two 11 foot lanes in each direction will go from approximately 1,500 feet north of Alexander Road to Linger Longer Road. The existing bridges over Lick Creek and the Oconee River will be retained, rehabilitated and widened to accommodate the proposed typical, along with a bridge at Crooked Creek replacing the existing triple barrel culvert. A new bridge will be constructed over Rooty Creek in the new alignment section. The existing three signals will be replaced; no other intersections meet warrants for a signal. Beyond the existing right-of-way (ROW), which varies from 95 to 250 feet in width, project easements will extend between 50 feet to 180 feet from construction centerline.

Project P.I. No. 0006253 is located in Greene County, beginning just north of the intersection of SR 44 and

Linger Longer Road and continues to just north of Interstate (I-) 20, a total mainline distance of approximately 7.6 miles. The project consists of widening SR 44 from the existing two-lane road to a fourlane road with a combination of both rural and urban sections. The urban section, which includes a 16 foot raised median, bike lanes, sidewalk and 2 – eleven foot lanes in each direction, starts at the beginning of the project just north of Linger Longer Road and continues north to approximately 500 feet east of Carey Station Road. The rural section, which includes a 32 foot depressed median, both an 11 foot and 12 foot lane in each direction and a bike lane on the 6.5 foot paved shoulder, will go from approximately 500 feet east of Carey Station Road to Meadow Crest Road. From Meadow Crest Road to approximately 2,000 feet north of the I-20 interchange the urban section will be used. The existing three signals will be replaced; no other intersections meet warrants for a signal. A traffic engineering study will be conducted at Carey Station.

Road for traffic control along with a roundabout analysis. The ROW impact of project easements, which include permanent, temporary, driveway, and lake restoration easement (which is at a maximum distance of 445 feet from proposed centerline). Beyond the existing ROW, which varies from 0 to 485 feet in width, project easements will extend between 18 feet to 406 feet from the edge of pavement.
