Replace existing bridge on SR 25 (US 17) over Darien River
Project ID: 0017188
Construction Year: 2027
State: GA Counties: McIntosh
Entity: Georgia Department of Transportation
This project will construct a new, 0.9-mile roadway in Douglas County, connecting SR 5/US 78/Veterans Memorial Highway and SR 6/US 278/Thornton Road. The new road will be located in the northwest quadrant of the intersection, which is approximately 1.2 miles southwest of Austell and 1 mile east of Lithia Springs.
To handle the increased traffic, minor widening will take place on both SR 5 and SR 6. Specifically, the westbound section of SR 6 will be widened to three through lanes, with a dedicated right-turn lane to both SR 5 and the new roadway. Left turns will be prohibited at the intersection of SR 5 and SR 6.
On SR 5, the southbound lanes will be expanded to three, and the outermost lane will be a right-turn-only lane onto SR 6 westbound. Additionally, a raised median (7 to 14 feet) and a 14-foot flush median will be added along SR 5, while a 16-foot raised median will be added along SR 6.
Work for this project will include the acquisition of new right of way and a variety of easements imposed on adjacent landowners through the eminent domain process.
