The Sidney Lanier Bridge is Georgia’s tallest cable-stayed bridge, soaring 486 feet over the Brunswick River and stretching nearly 7,780 feet in length. Completed in 2003, it replaced an older lift bridge to improve access for large cargo ships heading to the Port of Brunswick. Named after poet Sidney Lanier, the bridge hosts an annual 5K run with panoramic views of the Golden Isles, making it both a vital transportation link and a local landmark.
