Oconee County Land Use Committee To Continue Its Discussion Of Daniells Bridge Road Flyover And Other Road Projects

Citizen advisory committee expects to have its report on road priorities ready by February or March.

The Oconee County Citizen Advisory Committee for Land Use and Transportation Planning resumes its deliberations about county road priorities Tuesday night with the goal of giving its feedback to the Board of Commissioners in February or March.

The proposed Daniells Bridge Road extension and flyover of SR Loop 10 has dominated both of the meetings the group has held since it began its discussion of road priorities at its meeting on Sept. 9.

The Board of Commissioners asked the LUTPC for advice on county road priorities after the state Department of Transportation sent the county three project framework agreements in July.

The agreements were for the Daniells Bridge Road extension, a widening of Daniells Bridge Road, and a widening of Jimmy Daniell Road.

At the September meeting, discussion was rather critical of the Daniells Bridge Road extension and flyover, but several Committee members expressed support for the project at the meeting in October.
