County agrees to $50,000 participation, sends letter of support for Jumping Gully Road bridge replacement
Summary
GDOT identified the Jumping Gully Road bridge over Bevel Creek as a Tier 1 replacement candidate; Lowndes County agreed to a $50,000 local financial commitment and authorized a support letter to GDOT.
Lowndes County commissioners approved a letter of support and a county financial commitment of $50,000 for a GDOT local bridge replacement project at Jumping Gully Road over Bevel Creek.
County staff said GDOT identified the bridge as a candidate for replacement in the local bridge replacement program. Under the program, GDOT will fund preliminary engineering, utility coordination, portions of right-of-way and reimburse construction costs; because the project is a Tier 1 replacement it will require an off-site detour during work, staff said. GDOT asked the county for a letter of support and a financial participation commitment; staff recommended approval of the support letter and the $50,000 commitment.
The board voted to authorize the chairman to sign the letter of support. Staff said GDOT will then circulate a memorandum of agreement for approval and the county will bring any required documents back to the board for final authorization.
