Citizen Committee Ranks Upgrade To Oconee Connector And SR 316 Intersection As Top Oconee County Road Project
Citizen Committee ranks Daniells Bridge Road widening and construction of a Daniells Bridge Road extension as low in priority.
Construction of a multigrade interchange for the Oconee Connector and SR 316 intersection is the most pressing road project in the county, the Oconee County Citizen Advisory Committee on Land Use and Transportation Planning decided Tuesday night.
The Commitee rated the widening of Daniells Bridge Road and the construction of an extension of Daniells Bridge Road with a flyover of SR Loop 10 near the bottom of its priority list of 18 road projects in the county.
Improvements to Simonton Bridge Road and the bridge for that road across the Middle Oconee River were of high priority to the Committee, following the multigrade intersection of the Oconee Connector and SR 316 in importance.
After making its rankings, the Committee voted to send a report of its work to the Board of Commissioners to make sure the Board learned of the Committee’s priorities.
