The purpose of the proposed Harry S. Truman Parkway-Phase V is to increase capacity and relieve congestion for north-south traffic on the east side of Savannah by constructing a four-lane, limited access parkway on new location between SR 204 (Abercorn Street Ext.) and Whitfield Avenue. The original project termini for Phase V were at Abercorn Street/Deerfield Road and Whitfield Avenue. The western project limit was later shifted approximately 500 meters to Largo Drive to meet capacity and operational requirements and to tie into a proposed project to widen SR 204/Abercorn Street to an 8-lane section from Rio Road to Largo Drive. Therefore, Largo Drive is the logical terminus for this project at the western project limit and Whitfield Avenue remains the logical terminus for the eastern limit to tie into the Harry S. Truman Parkway-Phase IV.
