1 1 Four Proposals from Oconee County

2 2 We are all unique and have different experiences and perspectives. **** Opportunities And Challenges

3 Opportunities Two Water Crossing Improvements  Low Water Bridge Road - Ford  Land Bridge Road - Bridge Two Road Improvements  West Village Creek Road  Brushy Mountain Road

4 4 General Area for Oconee County Improvements Reference Map: National Forest Lands in Sumter National Forest, Andrew Pickens Ranger District, Designated for Motor Vehicle Use

5 5 1 2 3 4 1. Land Bridge Road 2. Low Water Bridge Road 3. West Village Creek Road 4. Brushy Mountain Road Locations

6 6 CH-29 LAND BRIDGE ROAD  Bridge Built in 1977  Spans the Chauga River  Serves Recreational & Transportation Needs

7 7 CH-29 LAND BRIDGE ROAD  Realignment  Upgrade Structure  Improve Drainage  Improve Water Quality Project Includes:

8 8 CH-29 LAND BRIDGE ROAD IS A ONE LANE BRIDGE 2 TONS PER AXLE, 3 TONS GROSS “FUNCTIONALLY OBSOLETE” 1

9 9 2 LAND BRIDGE ROAD

10 10 3 LAND BRIDGE ROAD

11 11  The bridge has weight restrictions. In extreme cases this can cause an additional 7.26 miles of travel. In a sickness or fire, this much response time delay can make a critical difference.  Emergency responders must determine the location of the emergency along Land Bridge Road and then determine if the road should be accessed from Verner Mill Road or Whetstone Road. Land Bridge Road

12 12 BRIDGE Approximately 2.44 miles from Mtn. Rest Fire Station Approximately 4.82 miles from Mtn. Rest Fire Station

13 13 CH-75 Low Water Bridge Road Project will:  Improve Stream Crossing  Improve Water Quality  Improve Environment

14 14  Low Water Bridge Road has no bridge, but instead is a ford. It is located just beyond a primitive campground and must be crossed to provide access to residents and visitors to Snyder Cemetery.  Low Water Bridge Road project will improve aquatic passage, public safety, wildlife habitat, decrease pollutants from vehicles passing through the water, and reduce sediment going into the Chattooga River.

15 15 CH-75 Low Water Bridge Road

16 16 CH-75 Low Water Bridge Road

17 17 CH-75 Low Water Bridge Road

18 18 CH -82 West Village Creek Road And PU-9 Brushy Mountain Road These projects include:  Widen road.  Increase sight distance.  Provide safer passage.  Provide better drainage.

19 19 West Village Creek Road

20 20 West Village Creek Road

21 21 West Village Creek Road

22 22 Brushy Mountain Road

23 23 Brushy Mountain Road

24 24 Brushy Mountain Road

25 25 West Village Creek Road and Brushy Mountain Road  Provide a turn around for visitors and emergency vehicles  Provide a wider driving surface.  Slope and stabilize banks to improve sight distance near the curves.  Provide all-weather driving surface. Improve forest and stream health by :  Stabilizing roadside banks and ditches.  Paving the road will prevent stone from washing off the road during heavy rains. Improve public safety by:
