Abstract

This project would consist of extending Lithonia Industrial Boulevard, on new alignment, from a newly constructed interchange at Interstate 20 (I-20) to Evans Mill Road. The proposed alignment would be approximately 1.25 miles in length, consisting of four 12-foot-wide lanes (two in each direction) divided by a 20-foot-wide raised median. The eastern side of the proposed project would have a 5-foot-wide sidewalk, while the western side would have a12-foot-wide trail from Rock Springs Road to Woodrow Road with a 5-foot-wide sidewalk from Woodrow Road to I-20. In addition, there would be a 30-inch curb and gutter and a 2-foot-wide paved strip on both sides of the new roadway. The proposed right-of-way (ROW) would be 120 feet wide. A 250-foot (76-meter) corridor was surveyed. The area effected was investigated with shovel test pits excavated at a 100-foot (30-meter) intervals.
