SAVANNAH – The Georgia Department of Transportation awarded its first Construction Management/General Contractor contract to Kiewit Infrastructure South Co. for the U.S. 17/Georgia (SR) 404 Spur Bridge Major Maintenance Project that will replace the existing bridge’s cables, bearings, and joints.
In addition to the structural enhancements to this cable-stayed bridge spanning the Savannah River, the contractor will explore shortening the cables to raise the profile for additional vertical/navigational clearance for ships accessing the Port of Savannah’s terminals directly upstream.
