US 80 Bridges Replacement Study

The US 80 Bridges Replacement Study is an initiative of the Coastal Region MPO in coordination with the Chatham County-Savannah Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC) to identify feasible solutions for safety and access issues on the Bull River and Lazaretto Creek Bridges, as well as for flooding issues on US 80 between the bridges.

The study will determine the feasibility of:

• Replacing or modifying the existing bridges to accommodate wider lanes and shoulder,
• Constructing bicycle and pedestrian facilities that link to Tybee Island and McQueen’s Island Trail,
• Providing additional capacity at specific locations to provide congestion or incident relief,
• Improving conditions of flood prone areas.
