Ongoing Phase 1 State Route (SR) 15 Truck Route progress will shift Ridge Road traffic on Monday, June 14 from the Fall Line Freeway to Mayview Road.
Drivers will transition to newly-built lanes on the east side so contractors can demo the existing Ridge Road in this area.
G.P.’s Enterprises is the prime contractor for the $24.1 million Sandersville Truck Route, which is one of the major regional Transportation Investment Act (TIA) projects passed by Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) voters in 2012. The project is fully funded by TIA proceeds.
The project includes 4.585 miles of lane widening and reconstruction to mark the beginning of a new location of SR 15 just east of Ridge Road on SR 242 extending generally along Ridge Road to SR 15 north of Sandersville. The typical section will consist of four lanes with a raised median from SR 242 to Sisters Church Creek and four lanes with a flush median from that point to the north end.
In addition to the roadway improvements, work will also feature a new bridge and approaches over the Sandersville Railroad and a multi-lane roundabout at the intersection of the Fall Line Freeway.
