The subject of this report is an approximately 80 by 80 ft (24 by 24 m) area that was not identified when the original survey of this bridge replacement project was conducted in 2001 (Patton 2002). This area is the length and width of the right-of-way for the relocation of Turner Church Road as it intersects SR 155 south of Walnut Creek and south of the existing Turner Church Road. This area was essentially surveyed in 2001 because the area overlaps with and is adjacent to a twentieth century house site (9HY312) that investigated with shovel tests and surface inspection. It is proposed that two-lane Turner Church Road will bisect the 80 by 80 ft area, requiring grading and paving.
