Timeline

  • February 2026: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announces feasibility study for Savannah Harbor deepening.
  • March 2, 2026: GDOT launches virtual PIOH for I-95 widening project.
  • March 27, 2026: Public comment deadline (Project ID 0020169).
  • TBD: Environmental review, design, and construction timeline to follow.

What to Watch Next

  • The March 27 comment deadline is the first formal milestone — watch for organized opposition or support from industrial stakeholders, municipalities, and environmental groups.
  • Monitor the environmental review process: projects of this scale typically require 2–4 years from PIOH to construction start.
  • Track industrial land transactions along the I-95 corridor between Exit 90 and the state line — savvy investors will begin positioning before the project advances.
  • Watch for coordination announcements between the I-95 widening, the I-16 widening, and the harbor deepening study — a unified infrastructure narrative would accelerate institutional investment in the region.
