Southbound Lane of Georgia Avenue from Chandler Road to Mike Ann Drive Closed for Apartment Construction

Beginning this week, the southbound lane of Georgia Avenue from Chandler Road to Mike Ann Drive will be closed to thru traffic for up to 18 months. The closure is to accommodate construction of a new apartment complex, Charme on Georgia Avenue. Northbound traffic will continue to flow as normal, and the center turn lane will be used as a temporary pedestrian walkway. The City of Statesboro is advising drivers and pedestrians to use caution in the area while it is an active construction site.
