What kind of legacy can a bridge hold? The Curtis J. Wilkes Bridge carries more than just traffic. It carries the memory of a man deeply woven into the fabric of his community. The Curtis J. Wilkes Bridge stands as a tribute to Curtis J. Wilkes. He wasn’t a politician or a celebrity. He was a deacon at First Baptist Church in Pooler. He was a Mason, a former Lion’s Club member, and a beloved family man. This bridge over Interstate 95 isn’t just concrete and steel. It’s a symbol of a life well-lived, a quiet testament to a man who made a difference in the lives of those around him. Curtis was a husband, a father, a brother, a grandfather, and a great-grandfather. His family, spread from Pooler to Tampa, Florida to Fairfax, Virginia, remembers him not for the bridge that bears his name, but for the love and support he provided. His dedication to his church and community speaks volumes about his character. The Curtis J. Wilkes Bridge serves as a daily reminder to those who cross it of the importance of community involvement and the impact a single person can have.
