Talbotton / Warm Springs 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 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).
