Engineering Services for Perry Lane Road Bridge Replacement and Corridor Widening (Design Only)

The Board of Commissioners of Glynn County, Georgia (“the Owner”) seeks proposals from interested qualified firms to provide engineering design services for the Perry Lane Road Bridge Replacement and Corridor Widening project including all the details outlined and required in the Program Services section.

Perry Lane Road is an important local connector within Glynn County that accommodates daily passenger vehicles as well as commercial, service, and emergency response traffic. The existing bridge carrying Perry Lane Road over Burnett Creek was originally constructed in 1965 and reconstructed in 2001. While the bridge remains in fair physical condition, it was designed to obsolete load standards (H-15) and is permanently load posted due to insufficient structural capacity for modern vehicular demands.

A January 28, 2026 GDOT bridge inspection confirms that the structure’s load posting is attributable to low original design capacity, not correctable maintenance deficiencies, and explicitly identifies bridge replacement as the required improvement to eliminate posting and restore full functionality. The existing bridge also lacks sufficient width to accommodate current and future traffic volumes and does not align with modern roadway design or safety standards.

In addition, long-range transportation planning documents, including the Brunswick Area Transportation Study (BATS) Metropolitan Transportation Plan, identify increasing congestion and capacity constraints along the Perry Lane corridor. To proactively address public safety, structural adequacy, operational efficiency, and future capacity needs, Glynn County intends to advance design-level engineering services for:

1. Replacement of the existing Perry Lane Road bridge with a wider structure designed to safely accommodate modern legal loads, emergency vehicles, and future traffic demands; and
2. Widening of the Perry Lane Road corridor to improve capacity, drainage, and long-term functionality.
