16@95 Improvement Projects

16@95 Improvement Projects

The 16@95 Improvement Projects will provide infrastructure enhancements to the I-16 at I-95 interchange and along the I-16 corridor, one of Georgia’s busiest freight corridors as well as the gateway to the growing port in Savannah. The projects are intended to ease congestion, decrease travel times, and increase safety and operational efficiencies for passenger and freight vehicles. The projects include:

  • I-16/I-95 Interchange Reconstruction
  • I-16 Widening from I-95 to I-516

In accordance with social distancing practices, instead of a typical in-person groundbreaking ceremony, Georgia DOT produced a video to celebrate this momentous occasion. We encourage you to watch the video, which includes remarks from Georgia DOT leadership, members of the project team, and local leaders.

Project Map

The above map of the 16@95 Improvement Projects is not drawn to scale.

The project limits along I-16 and I-95 are identified by milepost (MP) locations and are listed below:
• I-16 from MP 156 to MP 164
• I-95 from MP 98 to MP 100
Advanced construction signage will be placed approximately 2 miles in advance of project construction limits.
If you have questions regarding the 16@95 Improvement Projects activities, please email 1695Improvements@dot.ga.gov or call the Project Hotline at (912) 480-9625.
If you have questions regarding activities outside the 16@95 Improvement Projects limits, please contact the Georgia DOT’s District 5 office at (912) 427-5711.

Overview

  • Widening the I-16 mainline corridor toward the inside median, increasing the existing general purpose roadway from two lanes to three lanes in each direction
  • Reconstructing six bridges, replacing four bridges, and constructing three new bridges
  • Replacing two existing loop ramps located on the west side of I-95 with innovative turbine configuration system-to-system ramps
  • Constructing a collector-distributor (CD) lane* on I-95 northbound to separate vehicles exiting and entering from I-16
  • Building a two-lane, emergency-use median crossover on I-16 between I-95 and Dean Forest Road to facilitate hurricane evacuations
  • Installing Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technology, such as cameras and changeable message signs, to provide real-time driving conditions
  • Adding interchange lighting

*Collector-distributor (CD) lanes run parallel to the main travel lanes of an interstate or highway, connecting them to access roads or entrance ramps in order to improve traffic flow, speed, and safety.
