A new Elachee Drive bridge over Interstate 985 is being proposed, with construction possibly starting on the $3.3 million replacement in 2020. Other project costs include $500,000 for preliminary engineering in fiscal 2017-18 and $250,000 for right of way acquisition in 2019, according to a legal notice published Sunday on the project. Hall County’s lead transportation planning agency, the Gainesville-Hall Metropolitan Planning Organization, will accept public comments on the project until July 17.
