Crossing off the Truman Parkway

In the 1950s, the I16 highway was built which extended into the heart of our city and created a barrier between downtown and westside neighborhoods.  In the 1990s when the new bridge was built, they made the problem far worse by tying I16 directly into US17/bridge thereby cementing the division between downtown and the westside.

An eastside crossing off the Truman Parkway will reverse this mistake and create new opportunities for all of Savannah.
