Villa Rica Bypass, GA

This project consists of a 3-mile, 2-lane bypass around the north and east side of the City with 2-miles of roadway construction on new location and 1-mile of reconstruction and improvements along existing location.  The project also includes 2-miles of crossing roadway improvements, two of which are on state routes, with both intersections requiring roundabouts.  These roundabouts were proposed due to analyzed safety concerns at the intersections.  Due to the new bypass being located on an oversize/overweight (OSOW) truck route, both hybrid roundabouts were designed to accommodate these types of vehicles, as needed. Additionally, both roundabouts were designed to allow for future bypass lanes to accommodate higher traffic volumes without requiring major reconstruction efforts.

Eighty-seven (87) parcels were impacted by this project.  The City is funding the engineering design cost and GDOT is funding the cost of right-of-way acquisition and construction.

Services provided include roadway design, utility coordination, lighting, construction support, environmental permitting, PES, pavement type selection report, surveying, and soil survey.
