Location |SR 34 Bypass Widening & Reconstruction; Coweta County, Georgia
Project Description | Newnan Utilities, Sunbelt Structures, EMC, Coweta County and several other utilities/contractors have begun work on SR 34 Bypass, sometimes referred to as Millard Farmer Industrial Blvd. It is estimated that this will be a 1-2 year project.
Description. This project is the widening and reconstruction of the SR 34 Bypass [bypassing the City of Newnan] from SR16/US 29 Alternate/Reverend Travis Henry Edison Highway to SR 34/Bullsboro Road for a total of 4.03 miles. The project proposes to widen and reconstruct the existing two-lane urban connecting link to a four-lane urban principal arterial with a 20 ft. to 24 ft. raised median and urban shoulders widening to a 28 ft. median width at crossroad intersections to accommodate a similar median crossover. From County Road (CR) 70/Hospital Road to SR 16, the raised median and urban shoulders will transition to match the existing SR 34 Bypass lanes and rural shoulders at SR 16. The raised median from SR 16 to SR 34 will be 20 ft. to 24 ft. and transition to 28 ft. at intersections.
Need/Purpose. Per the Department of Transportation, the need for widening the SR 34 Bypass is due to their estimation that the Level of Service (LOS) will reach an undesirable level by the year 2029. The purpose of the widening and improvements would be to mitigate future congestion along the SR 34 Bypass and SR 34, which flows through downtown Newnan. By separating through and local traffic, there will be greater access to U.S. Interstate Highway 85 (I-85) from the towns and cities located west of Newnan such as Whitesburg and Franklin. This will serve to reduce the number of trucks driving through the downtown, as well as commuters traveling to I-85.
