Battle, Daniel E.

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.

At the intersection of SR 211, it is proposed that a left turn lane be installed on SR 211 at the eastbound approach to McNeal Road. Additionally, it is proposed that a signal be installed at the intersection.

This project was conducted under a transportation enhancement grant provided by the Jones County Commission and the Georgia Department of Transportation.

The project consists of the realignment of Pylant Street to intersect State Route 16 at a 90 degree angle. The project is approximately 1850 ft in length and includes a grade separation at Dead Oak Creek.

The Brier Creek Battlefield is a rare resource in the State of Georgia. It offers a unique opportunity to study a major military engagement from the War for American Independence in a setting that appears only partially impacted by tree farming and recreational activities.
