A revised project management contract for the St. Simons Island gateway, Torras Causeway and Demere Road improvements and drainage work was approved by Glynn County Commission members Thursday.
Congratulations to the City Commission for having the wisdom to terminate the partially completed Glynn Avenue concrete walk at Overlook Park. That is the perfect place to end the project.

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. (AP) Georgia officials say they will have to spend an estimated $78 million to replace a deteriorating 1986 bridge that leads to St. Simons Island.
The state Department of Transportation is soliciting public comment through May 5 on its plans to replace the MacKay River Bridge. The Brunswick News reports construction could begin in the budget year that begins July 1.
Engineers have found cracks in the bridge’s concrete structure and says water is scouring around its support piers. If the state doesn t replace it, officials warn it could become unsafe.
