Widening this 10 mile stretch of highway to four lanes has meant many challenges, but our engineers are happy to report that major construction has been completed on the south end (in Appling County). This includes tying in the intersection at the Plant Hatch Nuclear Power Plant and constructing new bridges at the Altamaha River and the Altamaha River Overflow, as well as Williams Creek and Cobb Creek.

The existing bridges at those locations were also rehabilitated and widened in anticipation of increased future traffic through the corridor. Note that the roadways have new rumble strips and lane striping with highly visible paint. You'll see bike lanes through certain points. 

Working our way northward toward Lyons (in Toombs County), you'll see crews doing culvert installation and shoulder work as they continue building the new lanes. With all traffic still in two lanes on this end of the project, drivers should keep alert for safety - the big vehicles in action are indeed interesting, but don't let them be a distraction!
