New Houlihan Bridge in Port Wentworth - Georgia

The Houlihan Bridge in Port Wentworth, recognised by its steel, green trusses flanked by a hexagonal wheelhouse, is one of the oldest bridges in Georgia and it’s planned for demolition and replacement next year to the tune of about $65.5 million federal and state dollars.
Built in 1922, the last working turnstile or swing bridge that takes Georgia 25 over the Savannah River and Middle River and into South Carolina, is also one of the only bridges in “poor condition” in Chatham County, according to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
International Paper faces state fines for wastewater released into Savannah River. International Paper Company faces nearly $28,000 in state fines for discharging wastewater with unacceptable levels of potential fecal material from its Port Wentworth mill into the Savannah River over a six-month period in 2023, according to an order made public by Georgia environmental officials Monday.
The penalty also would apply to the unauthorized release in December of nearly 185,000 gallons of partially treated wastewater into a storm drain and ultimately into the river, the Georgia Environmental Protection Division noted in the document.
