Abstract

Project CSMSL-0008-00(690) proposes the construction of the Jimmy Deloach Connector, a new roadway alignment that would begin at Bourne Avenue/SR 307 and terminate at the existing Jimmy Deloach Parkway and State Route 21 (SR 21) intersection in Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia. The proposed right-of-way (ROW) would be roughly 200 feet (ft) in width along the length of the project corridor. The project is located in a largely urbanized area with industrial, commercial and residential encroachments. New interchanges would be constructed at both Grange Road and Bourne Avenue. The proposed project would be approximately 3.1 miles in length. The typical section of the proposed limited access roadway would consist of four 12-foot wide travel lanes (two in either direction) separated by a 24 foot-wide raised median and 6.5 foot wide shoulders on both sides of the roadway. An exception to this typical section will begin just south of Crossgate Road and continue to the existing Jimmy Deloach Parkway and will include a median barrier with 4-foot wide inside shoulders. The posted speed limit would be 55 mph.
