SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) -

Savannah officials say the Georgia Department of Transportation has promised to fix damage on White Bluff Road and save legacy oak trees that are still in danger.

Alderman Tony Thomas told WTOC that DOT officials will replant the trees they cut down as part of the paving project on White Bluff Road, which part of the Truman Parkway project.

Two more 200-year-old oaks are also scheduled to be cut down at Holland and Abercorn streets. Thomas said the state is looking at saving those trees as well.
