Sidney Lanier Brunswick, Georgia Cable Stayed Bridge
AMECO USA manufactured cable stayed bridge components for the Sidney Lanier Brunswick, Georgia Bridge. The Sidney Lanier Bridge is a cable stayed bridge that spans the Brunswick River in Brunswick, Georgia, it is currently the longest spanning bridge in Georgia at 7,779 feet long. The towers are 486 feet tall from the top of the footing to the top of the tower. The uprights are joined in two places by crossties, one below the cables and the other below the roadway. It is also the seventy-sixth largest cable-stayed bridge in the world. The Sidney Lanier Bridge is located at the entrance to the harbor at Brunswick, Georgia. It replaces an earlier lift bridge. Given that 20 large ships enter or exit the harbor each day, the lift bridge was often closed for many hours each day, traffic across the old bridge was often backed up.
