Savannah River Bridge Project Planned Between States
The Savannah river bridge between Abbeville county South Carolina and Elbert county Georgia is expected to cost 200000 to 250000 dollars. South Carolina will contribute 75000 dollars with Georgia highway department and counties covering the rest. The final site favors the lower crossing proposed by Georgia authorities, with a half mile difference between routes. The reinforced concrete and steel structure will span 1500 to 1900 feet, becoming the first free bridge across the Savannah above Augusta.
