Oconee Commissioners To Consider Agreements For Widening Jimmy Daniell Road And Daniells Bridge Road And For Daniells Bridge Road Extension
Chairman Melvin Davis is asking for action on state agreements on the three projects after receiving a letter from GDOT.
The Oconee County Board of Commissioners is being asked to take up on Tuesday night project framework agreements with the state for widening of Daniells Bridge Road and of Jimmy Daniell Road and construction of an extension of Daniells Bridge Road with a flyover of SR Loop 10.
The agenda item is a response to a letter sent to BOC Chairman Melvin Davis on Oct. 28 asking for county action on a project framework agreement for the widening of Jimmy Daniell Road by Dec. 1, according to documents released Friday on the county web site.
The county has received project framework agreements for the two Daniells Bridge Road projects as well, but the Oct. 28 letter on the county site from Albert Shelby, program delivery engineer with the Georgia Department of Transportation, references only the Jimmy Daniell Road project.
BOC Chairman Melvin Davis has been pushing for action on all three project framework agreements since the state sent them to the county in early July, and the agenda item on Tuesday calls for BOC consideration of all three of them.
The meeting is to begin at 7 p.m. at the courthouse in Watkinsville.
