New Bridge on State Route 144 East

planned

The Georgia Department of Transportation is proposing a $27 million bridge project to prevent further erosion on a key road in Bryan County, Georgia. The project involves building a new bridge to replace a portion of the narrow two-lane State Route 144 East, which is built on an embankment and is at risk due to severe erosion caused by the Ogeechee River. The project also includes adding riprap and a partial seawall where a bridge cannot be built, maintaining traffic during construction, and adding bike-friendly shoulders for cyclist safety.
