Construction on a Savannah bridge to speed up

State transportation officials say they are moving as quickly as possible to replace the Skidaway Narrows Bridge.

The Georgia Department of Transporation has labeled the 37-year-old bridge "structurally deficient."

It is the only link to the mainland for more than 6,000 residents of Skidaway Island. Lack of funding to replace the bridge have caused years of construction delays.

Six people died in Minneapolis last week when a 40-year-old bridge collapsed.
