McIntosh Road once again spans the Flint River!

Contractors have placed 5 - 143’ long and 6’ high concrete beams that form the basis of the connection of Fayette and Spalding County across the Flint River. This is a major milestone in the construction of the long awaited reconstruction of the McIntosh Road Bridge. The contractor is now working toward the concrete deck (driving surface). They are also working on forming bridge over hangs for parapet walls. Hopefully, weather permitting, next month’s update will show good progress on rebar placement for the concrete bridge deck. Pictures were taken from the Spalding County side of the river.

Notice of Road & Bridge Closure
McIntosh Road Bridge at the Flint River
Effective 29 September 2016 to 29 September 2017

Over the past few years Fayette County has been working with the Georgia Department of Transportation, the Atlanta Regional Commission and Spalding County to replace the McIntosh Road Bridge over the Flint River. The existing bridge is 544 feet long, 25.8 feet wide and was built in 1950.

The new bridge will be approximately 385 feet long, 36 feet wide and have no posted weight restrictions. The total project length is 1,300 feet, which includes 915 feet of roadway approach improvements.

All design and land acquisition work is complete. Construction started on 29 September 2016 and is scheduled for completion in one year. The construction phase of the project is being managed by the Georgia Department of Transportation.
