SYLVANIA, Georgia — The Georgia Department of Transportation is seeking public comments on the proposed State Route 21 BU/SR 73 at Ogeechee Railroad Company bridge replacement project, which requires an off-site detour in Screven County.
This project proposes to replace the existing railroad overpass bridge on SR 21 BU/SR 73 in the City of Sylvania. The existing bridge, constructed in 1941, is below current design standards.
The proposed bridge would be built in the same location, requiring an off-site detour via SR 21. The new bridge would consist of two 12-foot-wide travel lanes, eight-foot shoulders, six-and-a-half-foot sidewalks, and raising the vertical clearance by approximately six feet.
