Talmadge Memorial Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Savannah, United States.
The Talmadge Memorial Bridge extends 3,060 meters across the Savannah River with a main span of 335 meters, connecting downtown Savannah with South Carolina.
The bridge, inaugurated in November 1991, replaced an older structure from 1953 that restricted large vessels from accessing the Port of Savannah.
Named after Eugene Talmadge, a former Georgia governor who served multiple terms between 1933 and 1943, the bridge stands as a symbol of regional leadership.
The four-lane bridge rises 56 meters above the Savannah River, allowing ocean-going vessels to pass underneath while facilitating vehicle traffic between Georgia and South Carolina.
The bridge serves as a gateway to the Port of Savannah, the largest container terminal in the United States and the fourth busiest port in the nation.
