GEORGIA ST BRIDGE REHAB PROJECT: Design is scheduled to be completed Feb 1, and construction starting summer 2015. Some great improvements are in the works! Read below for the specific project details: The scope of the project which is to seismically retrofit and rehabilitate the historic Georgia Street Bridge and existing walls extending along University Avenue between Florida Street and Park Boulevard. The bridge will be reconstructed from the arch ribs up, University Avenue will be lowered approximately 2 feet 4 inches underneath the bridge to increase the vertical under clearance and the lowering will transition to existing street grade before the Florida Street and Park Boulevard intersections. In addition, new soil nail walls will be constructed in front of the existing walls. New curb and gutter will be constructed on both sides University Avenue. The buffer on the north side which diverts traffic away from the arch rib and exists from Florida Street to just west of the bridge will be reconstructed. The sidewalk on the south side will be replaced and the new sidewalk will have a minimum width of 5 feet and will be extended to the cross walk at Park Boulevard where the missing curb ramp and pedestrian push button will be installed. New asphalt will be placed between the Florida Street and Park Boulevard intersections and bike sharrows will be added to the outside lanes.
