The proposed project is a maintenance project that would mill and resurface the existing pavement, install rumble strips and construct 2' paved shoulders on SR 286 in Whitfield/Murray Counties. Beginning in Whitfield County at its intersection with SR 52 (M.P. 0.00), the project will end at the SR 2/SR 186 intersection in Murray County (5 .05). All work will take place within the existing right-of-way with no new right-of-way required. Total project length is approximately 10.04 miles.
