PROJECT DESCRIPTION / LIMITS
The purpose of this project is to upgrade the existing I-85 and SR 74 / Senoia Road interchange. A partial cloverleaf option has been developed.
The partial cloverleafoption would add a two lane loop ramp in the south west quadrant and a one-lane ramp in the north east quadrant of the interchange. This option would eliminate the traffic signal for the heavy southbound to eastbound movement from I-85 to SR 74.
The SR 74 bridge over I-85would be replaced with a new bridge that wouldinclude 4 lanes eastbound and 2 lanes southbound. East of the interchange, SR 74would be widenedto four lanes in each direction to Meadow Glen Parkway. East of Meadow Glen Parkway, SR 74 would be widened to 3 lanes in each direction to Milam Road.
TYPICAL SECTIONS – EXISTING AND PROPOSEDI-85 at SR 74
Existing
2-11’ lanes in each direction
Proposed
Northbound: 2-12’ lanes across bridge, 4 – 12’ lanes from Harris Road to northbound I-85 on ramp, 3 – 12’ lanes from Milam to Harris
Southbound: 4 – 12’ lanes from Meadow Glen Parkway through the interchange, 3 – 12’ lanes from Milam to Meadow Glen Parkway
NUMBER OF POTENTIALLY AFFECTED PARCELS
44 parcels
POTENTIAL DISPLACEMENTS
2 – bothgas station/convenience stores
ANTICIPATED PROJECT SCHEDULE (ENGINEERING, RIGHT OF WAY, AND CONSTRUCTION)
Complete Final Construction Plans – 2019
Right of Way – 2018
Let to Construction – 2020
ESTIMATED COSTS (RIGHT OF WAY AND CONSTRUCTION)
-RIGHT OF WAY $16,000,000
-CONSTRUCTION $20,000,000
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
The Efficiency Motel, located along SR 74 northwest of the interchange is a potential Environmental Justice issue. However, that facility is located outside of the proposed project limits, so it probably will not be an issue. The only other known environmental issue at this time is the presence of underground storage tanks (UST’s) at the commercial properties proposed to be acquired, which are both gas stations.
