Port Wentworth Launches Public Information Campaign Ahead of Downtown Semi-Truck Ban on Coastal Highway
Thursday, May 7th, 2026
The City of Port Wentworth is launching a public information campaign to prepare residents, businesses and drivers for a downtown semi-truck ban along Coastal Highway that will be fully enforced beginning July 1, 2026.
City leaders say the effort is part of a broader push to improve safety, reduce heavy truck congestion and support downtown revitalization by making the corridor more walkable and business-friendly.
The ban will apply to the downtown portion of Coastal Highway, with outreach and education taking place through May and June as truck drivers transition to designated alternate routes.
