County seeks cost estimate for Flat Shoals bridge; staff suggests three‑way split with Pike County and GDOT
Summary
County staff told commissioners the Flat Shoals bridge (between Meriwether and Pike counties) may require extensive work; GDOT estimated 18–24 months to design/secure funding. Staff will get engineer estimates and explore splitting costs with Pike County and GDOT.
Staff reported on Flat Shoals bridge, which sits between Meriwether and Pike counties, and said GDOT may need 18–24 months to design and secure funding before construction would begin. "If it's $400,000 or $500,000 once we get that number, I'll bring it back to the board," staff said, noting engineers will need to estimate cost and staff will seek collaboration with Pike County and GDOT to share expense.
Commissioners cautioned about investing county funds if GDOT plans to replace the structure and discussed contacting state legislators to press for faster action. One commissioner suggested reaching out to state representative Randy Roberts to encourage GDOT engagement; staff agreed to pursue outreach and report back.
