Crews have moved 11 million-plus cubic yards of dirt already: Here's where Hyundai site stands

Drive by the Hyundai EV factory site, also known as the Bryan County megasite, and one thought comes immediately to mind: "They're sure moving plenty of dirt."

But how much? Think twin 47-foot high berms of earth stretching from the soon-to-be plant's front door to where Interstate 16 ends by the Savannah Civic Center.

Site prep crews have cleared approximately 1,600 acres on the 3,000-acre site since work began in August. The scheduled calls for several locales to be foundational pad ready - graded and prepped for building materials - by the end of the calendar year.
