SR 56 Reconstruction (0.09 Mile East of SR 60 to 0.08 Mile East of SR 135)

Des. No. 1600873

This project is full reconstruction of SR 56.  The existing pavement will be removed, subgrade compacted to required density, and new pavement bordered by curb and gutter will be constructed.  Sidewalk construction and ADA ramps will be provided for a portion of the roadway, with the remaining sections of roadway being constructed compatible for future sidewalk construction.

A center turn lane will be constructed between just west of Tarr Avenue to Cox Ferry Road.

Maintenance of Traffic:  SR 56 will be closed to through traffic.  The Contractor will be constructing SR 56 in sections so that access to homes and businesses will remain.

The estimated cost of this project is $7,000,000.

Des. No. 1600875

This project will be milling 1.5” of the existing HMA off the roadway and putting back 1.5” of new HMA.  Curb repair, storm drainage improvements are not part of this project.

SR 56 Bridge Replacement over Brock Creek

Des. No. 1700168

The new SR 56 bridge over Brock Creek is proposed to be a 2-span (46’-9”, 46’-9”) haunched, reinforced concrete slab structure that will match the existing in total length.  A minor profile grade raise will occur at the structure to satisfy the hydraulic & geometric requirements. The typical roadway section at the bridge will consist of two-12’ travel lanes with a 2’-1″ minimum curb offset (north side), a 4’-1″ minimum shoulder (south side), and a 6’-8” sidewalk along the north side.  The proposed bridge railing is a PS type along the north side and a PF type along the south side. The PS & PF railings are open tube type railings that will provide a view up and down the stream.  The proposed clear roadway width will be 31’-4” and the total out-to-out bridge width will be 40′-0”.
 

SR 56 will be closed to traffic at the bridge.

The estimated cost of this project is $1,225,500.
