The Georgia Department of Transportation is scheduled to open a new high-volume freight corridor in Savannah next week that officials say will streamline the flow of goods at one of the fastest growing ports in the U.S. and remove rail crossing and truck traffic from Savannah neighborhood streets.
The $126 million Brampton Road Connector is a new four-lane highway linking Garden City Terminal’s Gate 3 directly to the interstate system. The project gives truck drivers faster access to the Port of Savannah and a more streamlined route to inland markets.
“Improving the mobility of freight traffic from the port and increasing safety for motorists on local streets are key goals for this project. The Brampton Road Connector accomplishes both simultaneously,” said Georgia DOT Commissioner Russell R. McMurry.
