Exciting Changes Coming for Drivers in Savannah!

Hey there, Savannah! If you’re planning to hit the roads soon, you might want to take note of some upcoming lane closures on I-95 due to important bridge inspections. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is rolling up its sleeves to ensure the safety and durability of our infrastructure, and they’ve set a schedule that’ll kick off on April 15 at 10 a.m. Right at the South Carolina state line, get ready for some temporary lane closures!

What’s Going Down?

So, here’s the scoop! GDOT will be inspecting the Savannah River Bridges. The meticulous work begins on the northbound bridge, which is expected to take around two hours. Once they’ve wrapped that up, the focus will shift over to the southbound bridge. No need to panic—these closures are just for a short period, and the lane access will be back to normal once the inspections are completed. Safety first, right?

Keep your eyes peeled for message signs and barrels placed strategically around the work zone. They’ll be doing their best to keep everyone informed about any changes. And a quick reminder: while you cruise past the inspection area, it’s best to reduce your speed to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

Weather Woes?

Now, a little heads-up—the inspection progress might get a little dicey depending on the weather. If the rain clouds roll in, it can certainly affect scheduling. So, staying informed is key!
