Harry Truman Parkway

The Harry Truman Parkway has been dubbed as "the engineer's greatest challenge." It's a controlled highway that runs north and south in eastern Savannah, outside of downtown. It originally began running from Henry Street to Derenne Avenue, and was extended on both ends. To this date, the highway is still not officially complete, and even though it has been expanded in the last 5 years significantly, further construction of the road has been halted indefinitely. The highway begins near the Savannah River and terminates in Thunderbolt. This page details the road running from north to south.
