Interstate 16

Interstate 16 (I-16), also known as Jim Gillis Historic Savannah Parkway, is an east–west Interstate Highway located entirely within the U.S. state of Georgia.[3] It carries the hidden designation of State Route 404 (SR 404) for its entire length. I-16 travels from downtown Macon, at an interchange with I-75 and SR 540 to downtown Savannah at Montgomery Street (Exit 167B).[4] It connects Macon and Savannah, via Dublin, Metter, and Pooler. I-16's unsigned designation of SR 404 has a spur that is signed in Savannah.

This article is about the current Interstate Highway. For the current state highway, see Georgia State Route 16.

The western-most segment in Macon, from I-75 and US 80/SR 87, is part of the Fall Line Freeway, a highway that connects Columbus and Augusta. This segment may also be incorporated into the proposed eastern extension of I-14, which is currently entirely within Central Texas and may be extended to Augusta.[5]

Route description

Bibb County

I-16 in Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park

I-16 begins at an interchange with I-75/SR 540, just northwest of downtown Macon, in Bibb County. Here, it begins a concurrency with SR 540. The Interstate and SR 540 proceed southeast, traveling just east of the downtown area. They cross over the Ocmulgee River and then have an interchange with US 23/US 129/SR 49 (Spring Street/North Avenue). Then, they have a partial interchange with SR 22 (2nd Street) that is only accessible from the westbound lanes. Almost immediately is an interchange with US 80/SR 87 (Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard/Coliseum Drive). At this intersection, SR 540 departs the concurrency to the north-northeast. Within the eastern part of this interchange, the highway travels under a railroad bridge that carries railroad tracks of Norfolk Southern Railway. In the east-central part of Macon, I-16 travels through Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park but without direct access. Visitors need to first exit at the US 80/SR 87 exit. On the southern edge of the national monument, it crosses over Walnut Creek. It then travels on a bridge over some railroad tracks of CSX and Boggy Branch. After leaving Macon, I-16 curves to the south-southeast and has an interchange with US 23/US 129 Alt./SR 87 (Ocmulgee East Boulevard). In the interchange, the highway crosses over Swift Creek. It crosses over Stone Creek before entering Twiggs County.[4]

This interchange is only accessible from the eastbound lanes. I-16/US 17 curves to the northeast. At the next interchange, US 17 splits off, where SR 404 Spur begins. This interchange also provides access to Gwinnett Street. The highway has an interchange with Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The westbound access for this highway is at the eastern terminus. I-16 curves to the north-northeast and reaches its eastern terminus, an interchange with Montgomery Street in downtown Savannah.[4]

Miscellaneous notes

I-16 serves as a hurricane evacuation route for Savannah and other coastal areas. The road is designed for contraflow travel with railroad-type gates to block most entrance and exit ramps for the normally eastbound lanes. During hurricane evacuation, I-16 is converted into westbound traffic from Savannah to west of US 441 in Dublin (exit 51), a total of 125 miles.[6]

I-16's only two rest areas are between exits 42 and 49 near Dudley.[7]

All of I-16 is included as part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense.[8][9][10]

History

Macon, Georgia 1955 Yellow Book with I-16 route (to Savannah)

The first part of I-16 opened October 11, 1966 to traffic between US 319 (exit 51) in Dublin to SR 29 (exit 67) near Rockledge.[2] In 1968, the segment between US 280 to downtown Savannah was completed and opened.[11] By the early 1970s, I-16 was completed from downtown Macon at I-75 to Jeffersonville Road near Danville. It was also extended from Dublin to Allentown.[12][13] In 1973, the connection between Macon to Dublin was completed.[14] The last part of the I-16 opened on September 22, 1978, placing it in Emanuel, Candler, and Bulloch counties and completing the connection between downtown Macon and Savannah.[15]

Until 2000, the state of Georgia used the sequential interchange numbering system on all of its Interstate Highways. The first exit on each highway would begin with the number "1" and increase numerically with each exit. In 2000, the Georgia Department of Transportation switched to a mileage-based exit system, in which the exit number corresponded to the nearest milepost.[16]

In 2001 the Georgia Legislature passed a resolution,[17][18] to designate the Earl T. Shinhoster Interchange at the interchange with Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard in Savannah in honor of Earl Shinhoster, who was a Black civil rights activist. This interchange is located in the economic and cultural center for Black Savannah.[19]

In 2003, the Georgia Legislature passed a resolution[20] to designate I-16 in honor of James L. Gillis, Sr., a Democrat who served as a State Representative, State Senator and Director of the Georgia Department of Transportation, as the Jim Gillis Historic Savannah Parkway.[21] Gillis' sons, Hugh and James, Jr., also served as Democratic state legislators. Hugh was a Representative from 1941 to 1953 and a State Senator from 1953 to 1955 and from 1963 to 2005. James, Jr. was a State Senator from 1945 to 1946.[22]

In 1999, Hurricane Floyd hit Georgia's coast. As a result, the eastbound I-16 lanes from Savannah to US 1 (exit 90) were opened to westbound traffic. This marked the first time I-16 was turned into a one-way interstate.[23] This contraflow traffic method has been used since, including in 2016 in evacuation efforts from Hurricane Matthew and 2017 for Hurricane Irma.[24][25]

Future

I-95 interchange

Due to high congestion during rush hour in Savannah and many deadly car accidents, the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has undertaken a new construction project at the interchange of I-95 and I-16 (exit 157 on I-16), along with other I-16 improvements.[26] The project includes:[27][28]

• The widening of I-16 from two lanes in each direction to three lanes between the junctions of I-95 and I-516 (exit 164).
• The construction of a turbine interchange (whirlpool interchange) at the junction of I-16 and I-95, in which two existing loop ramps, from I-16 W to I-95 S, and from I-95 S to I-16 E, will be replaces with turbine configuration ramps.
• The construction of a two-lane median on I-16 between I-95 and Dean Forest Road/SR 307 (exit 160), to be used to assist in hurricane evacuations from Savannah.
• The creation of a collector-distributor road on I-95 N to separate thru traffic from cars exiting onto and entering from I-16.
• The reconstruction of six bridges, replacement of four bridges, and the construction of three new bridges near the area.
• The addition of new interchange lighting and Intelligent Transportation System technology to provide real-time driving conditions to travelers.

The project, upon completion, is expected to result in a 32% decrease in I-16 congestion by 2030.[28] Despite concerns from residents, no new noise barriers will be built along I-16 during the construction.[29] A noise study concluded that barriers would not be necessary since traffic noise were not predicted to be over 66 dB(A).[30]

The project is expected to cost around $295 million.[31] Construction, which will be completed by Savannah Mobility Contractors JV, will begin in the second half of 2019 and will be completed in 2022.[32]

I-75 interchange

The interchange of I-75 and I-16 is undergoing construction, split into six phases, with the first three phrases set to be completed by the end of 2021:[33]

• Phase 1: Construction will be completed by C.W. Matthews at a cost of $63 million. A collector-distributor road will be built on I-16 E between the I-75 junction and Spring Street (exit 2). The Spring St loop ramp will temporarily be closed.
• Phase 2: Construction will include improvements on I-75 between Hardeman Avenue (exit 164) and I-16 (exit 175) and the shifting of exit ramps from I-75 in each direction to I-16.
• Phase 3: Construction on Phase 2 and 3 will be completed by E.R. Snell Company for $156 million. A new collector-distributor road will be built along I-75 N.

Three additional phases are included in the project:[33]

• Phase 4: Bids for a construction contract are scheduled to occur in 2021. Second Street will be widened. Construction from Phase 1 and Phase 2 will be completed, which includes the collector-distributor road along I-16 E. Access from I-16 E to Spring St will be reopened.
• Phase 5: Bids for a construction contract are scheduled to occur in 2021. The Spring St loop ramp will be reopened, while the left turn lane on northbound Spring St to I-16 W will be closed permanently. Also, Phase 3 construction will be completed, and a connection to the north-to-east ramp from Phase 2 will be built.
• Phase 6: Bids for a construction contract are scheduled to occur in 2023. A 1600 foot tunnel will be built for Norfolk Southern Railroad under I-75. all construction will be completed in this phase.

Also as a part of this project, GDOT has spent $12 million dollars in the Pleasant Hill neighborhood to help mitigate the effect of the construction and new highway ramps. The construction, which was completed in Summer of 2018, included the creation of two new parks and the transformation of Penniman House, the childhood home of Little Richard, into a community resource center.[34]

Effect of construction on Port of Savannah traffic

According to GDOT, with the expansion of I-16 at its interchanges with I-75, I-95, and I-516, the estimated increase in Gross State Product (GSP) would be $9,100,000,000 at a cost of $1,950,000,000. In addition, employment would increase annually by 2,426, and the Return on Investment (ROI) would be 4.7.[35]
