Buckeye Road Bridge Replacement Work Begins Monday
The Buckeye Road bridge over Buckeye Creek one mile south of the Johnson County line was built in 1958 and currently posted for load restrictions. Gregory Bridge will soon begin a $1.772 million replacement contract for 0.123 miles of new approaches and a modern bridge to be completed by March 31, 2022.
Weather permitting, crews will mobilize for clearing activities today in preparation for major construction and a required 120-day duration road closure. The detour startup date is to be determined.
Once in place, the local detour for this project uses New Buckeye Road, Robert Plummer Road, Watermelon Road and State Route 57.
GDOT helps local governments reduce the number of posted and closed bridges throughout the state using different replacement programs. Each bridge has structural issues and will be brought up to modern design standards. These projects typically require a 90 to 120-day detour once under construction.
Boys & Girls Club Announces Name Change to Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Augusta
Boys & Girls Clubs of the CSRA, the Augusta area’s premier youth development organization, announces a name change to Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Augusta. The name change reflects the non-profit’s unique history of service to the Augusta area while providing room for growth and encompassing the surrounding counties the organization currently serves.
“Our name change will more clearly communicate who we are and where we serve,” says Boys & Girls Clubs CEO, Kim Evans. “So often, when we work with people who live outside of this area, we find that they are confused about where our Clubs are located. We frequently hear questions that present the need to clarify, such as, ‘What does CSRA stand for?’ followed by ‘Are you in Savannah?’. Our city’s name is recognized and respected globally and the name change allows us to use that recognition to broaden our impact.”
