The length of Savannah's major downtown corridor, Bay Street, will be closed to traffic through rush hour, police officials said, because of a tanker truck leaking sulfuric acid. A HazMat crew is on the scene and cleaning up acid puddles in the road. Bay Street is closed from General MacIntosh Blvd. to Fahm Street, creating gridlock throughout downtown. Bay Street is the only throughway for large trucks in the Historic District and one of two major east-west connectors in the coastal city.
