Abstract

P.I. 0008121 has been designed to match the typical section of this segment of Rockbridge Road (Allgood Road to Rowland Road) with the typical section of the larger widening project, GDOT P.I. 0008401 (SR 10 / Memorial Drive to Stone-Mountain / Lithonia Road). The scope of work for the proposed project consists of widening Rockbridge Road from a two-lane roadway section to a three-lane roadway section from Allgood Road to Rowland Road. The project corridor is approximately 0.28 miles (0.45 kilometers) long. The existing travel lanes through this section of Rockbridge Road vary in width from 11 to 12 feet. The proposed travel lanes and the center auxiliary lane would be 12 feet wide. All of the work to be done would be completed along the south side of Rockbridge Road in order to maintain the existing sidewalks and bicycle lanes along the north side of the roadway. Existing ROW along the south side of Rockbridge Road varies from 50 to 75 feet. The proposed ROW along the south side of the roadway would vary from 75 to 80 feet.

P.I. 0012789 is a Transportation Enhancement (TE) project that was originally coded as GDOT P.I. 0008121. The proposed project consists of the construction of a 4-foot bicycle lane and 12-foot wide shoulder along the south side of Rockbridge Road from Allgood Road to Rowland Road. The shoulder would include 8-inch by 30-inch type 2 curb and gutter, a 2-foot wide stamped concrete strip, ADA-compliant 5-foot sidewalks, and a 30-inch wide grass strip located at the back of the sidewalk. Required right-of-way on the south side of the road would be 0.45 acres and temporary easement on the south side of the road would be 0.40 acres. No right-of-way or easements would be required on the north side of the road.
