Summary

Public works staff asked the board to commit a $100,000 local share for replacement of the bridge on Manly Road over Hedge Creek under a GDOT off-system bridge replacement program; typical total project cost estimated around $1.5 million and GDOT would cover additional costs.

Public Works Director (identified in the workshop as TJ) briefed the board Oct. 6 on GDOT’s off-system bridge replacement program and said the bridge on Manly Road over Hedge Creek has been identified for replacement.

Staff requested that the board commit $100,000 as Spalding County’s local share for the project and said GDOT would cover the remaining costs. Staff estimated total project cost at roughly $1.5 million but said an exact figure is not yet available. Commissioners asked how many bridges the county has replaced in the last ten years; staff estimated between eight and 12 replacements and noted the county and GDOT typically manage such projects collaboratively.

Staff praised the county crew’s ability to perform in-house repairs and said that GDOT had removed Moon Road from the replacement list after county crews repaired problems successfully. Commissioners were asked to approve the $100,000 local match so GDOT can proceed with the replacement design and construction schedule.
