Nahunta woman pushing for Sydney Lanier Bridge barriers

BRUNSWICK — Shannon Denbow has been touched by suicide twice in her life — first as a little girl when her father took his own life and more recently when her son did the same in January.

Denbow now wants to do something to potentially prev ent future suicides on the Sidney Lanier Bridge. A recent incident in which a man took his own life was a catalyst for what she hopes will be a positive change.

The Nahunta resident — who frequently drives over the bridge, the highest and longest in the state — has started a petition on Change.org that has 975 signatures.
