SAVANNAH - A sewage spill overflowed into a marsh late Monday about 15 feet off Islands Expressway, according to officials. <br>
<br>
The spill was reported about 6:45 p.m. in a line between Oatland Island and the Wilmington River, said Jim Laplander, director for sewer conveyance and water distribution for the Savannah Water and Sewer Bureau. <br>
<br>
The line, installed in the late 1980s, is a major one, serving Wilmington and Whitemarsh islands, he said. <br>
<br>
It was unclear how much sewage seeped into the marsh. Workers tried to repair the line through the night. <br>
<br>
Authorities closed one eastbound lane of traffic on Islands Expressway while the line was repaired. The work backed up traffic for at least one hour, officials said. <br>
