Glynn County, GA seeks qualified firms for a US 17/82 Corridor Study to address traffic congestion and safety improvements. The study will analyze current and future traffic conditions and prioritize projects for short- and long-term implementation.
The Board of Commissioners of Glynn County, Georgia (¿the Owner¿) seeks proposals from interested qualified firms to provide a US 17/US 82 Corridor Study, including all the details outlined and required in the Program Services section. Background Glynn County is home to a rapidly expanding population, tourism industry, and the nation¿s busiest port for import and export roll-on/roll-off (Ro/Ro) cargo. The I-95 Exit 29 at US 17/US 82 is the nexus of these trip generators including direct access to the Jekyll Island State Park, the Georgia Ports Authority¿s Colonel¿s Island facility, and a growing residential population. This corridor also connects to the Sidney Lanier Bridge which serves as the primary connection to Downtown Brunswick and St Simons Island. As recommended in the 2025 BATS Freight Plan and the 2050 BATS MTP, Glynn County and the BATS MPO are proposing a study to identify options to alleviate increasing traffic congestion in this important corridor. The proposed study limits extend from the Sidney Lanier Bridge to Ratcliff Rd and US 82 in Glynn County and include US 17/US 82/I-95 interchange. The study will also explore the possibility of improvements to connector roads to alleviate traffic pressure along this corridor. The final product of this study will be a detailed corridor analysis that identifies and prioritizes short-term (0-5 years) and long-term (5+ years) projects aimed at improving the corridor's operation and safety. This comprehensive study will help justify future programming of projects in the BATS MTP and Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), ensuring the County can efficiently manage its growth and maintain a safe, efficient transportation corridor. The study's primary objective is to identify the operational and capacity improvements needed along corridor. It will involve collecting traffic data and preparing projections based on current and future land use to assess the need for improvements.
