rdf:langString Montgomery Street is a prominent street in Savannah, Georgia, United States. Located between Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to the west and Jefferson Street to the east, it runs for about 4.21 miles (6.78 km) from Williamson Street in the north to Duncan Drive in the south. The street is named for General Richard Montgomery, who served for the Confederate Army in the American Revolutionary War. Its directional flow is one-way south of West Liberty Street. In March 2019, the formerly one-way section between West Broughton Street and West Liberty Street was converted to two-way, largely to permit visitors to turn right onto West Oglethorpe Avenue in order to drop people off at the entrance to the new Cultural Arts Center. An off-ramp from Interstate 16, completed in 1967, merges onto Montgomery Street, having passed over Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and West Taylor Street. The street's northern section passes through the Savannah Historic District, a National Historic Landmark District.
