Ligon Mill Road (S.R. 2044) - SPOT Project R150048
Construct a bridge over the CSX S-line railroad Project Schedule

The project proposes to construct a bridge on Ligon Mill Road (S.R. 2044) over the CSX S-line railroad. The current design shifts Ligon Mill Road approximately 130 feet south, and provides a new entrance to the Smith Creek neighborhood at Steeple Run Drive.
Current plans allow for the existing at-grade crossing to remain open during construction of the new bridge.
