I-20 bridge input sought by GDOT
(May 7, 2012)
The long-awaited replacement of I-20’s bridges linking Georgia and South Carolina over the Augusta Canal and Savannah River are moving forward. Engineers with the Georgia Department of Transportation expect construction to begin in 2019 and last 3-4 years. Needless-to-say, a project of this size will have some temporary impacts on our trail and waterways, but GDOT hopes to minimize these as much as possible, and want’s your comments. Their plan is outlined in this flyer “I-20 at Savannah River Bridge Replacement GDOT P.I. #210327-Richmond County.” Deadline for public comment is July 31, 2017. Send to sboring@dot.ga.gov.
