On U.S. 17 Coastal Highway in Brunswick, the route traverses the south Brunswick River over the Sidney Lanier Bridge, and then crosses the Altamaha River Bridge, between Glynn County and McIntosh County. This section of U.S. 17 is known as the "Gateway to historic Brunswick and the Golden Isles" because it provides access to Jekyll Island, St. Simons Island, Sea Island, and boat access to Little St. Simons Island.
