Going over the Savannah River on the Talmadge Bridge




I used to be scared to go over this huge bridge - but now I really enjoy it. I love the clouds in this picture.

Yeah, I probably shouldn't be taking pictures while I'm driving, but I just hold the camera up and press the button and sometimes they come out!

I found a picture of the bridge and the following info on it:

Completed in 1991 the new Talmadge Memorial cable-stayed bridge replaced the old cantilever truss bridge which had become a danger for large shipping entering the port in Savannah, Georgia. The new bridge provides 185 ft., 56.4 m. of vertical navigational clearance. With a main span of 1100 ft., 335 m. and a total length of 1.9 miles, 3.06 km., the new Talmadge Memorial carrier 4 lanes of traffic over the Savannah River with great beauty and style.
