New Interchange On Slate

The joint Georgia-South Carolina agency building a port on the Savannah River supports a new interchange on Interstate 95 to serve the terminal. The board of the Jasper Ocean Terminal Joint Project on Tuesday endorsed the $122 million interchange project. Officials say the interchange would create 4,000 construction jobs and open up hundreds of acres to commercial and residential development. The states are cooperating on a $500 million shipping terminal on the South Carolina side of the river just downstream from Savannah.
