Ramp opening links River North to city growth in North Augusta
A riverfront residential project led by former Georgia Governor Carl Sanders and his son celebrates a new ramp linking River North to the city. The ramp ends the need for a long southbound detour via the Savannah River after the Fifth Street Bridge approach was closed for safety. Officials from North Augusta, Aiken County and the state transportation department praised the collaboration and noted the ramp is a key piece in a 15 year, $20 million redevelopment plan transforming the Fifth Street area alongside the 13th Street Bridge and U.S. 25 gateways.
