I had posted on this in a thread regarding Truman Parkway back in August.  Based on the business impacts, there is really no other way of filling in the "blank" between Truman Parkway Phase V and the Southwest Bypass.  This, in combination with a new interchange at King George, would help the traffic situation tremendously.

In the long term plan, SR 204 should become a full freeway, by getting rid of a small signal between King George and US 17, and then adding ramps to/from I-95 and eliminating/ bypassing the signal for Gateway Blvd.

It would be like Boston/Milwaukee/San Francisco in reverse; we'll see how that turns out.

If I were living in Savannah, I would endorse this project without any second thought.
