Bulloch Local News

Community members should take this very seriously and do their part in helping slow the spread of COVID-19.

The City of Guyton has planned two special-called council meetings for this week to adopt the city budget for Fiscal Year 2021, but the timeline for adoption is not in compliance with state law.

Bulloch County EMA confirmed Saturday that the fourth death in Bulloch County related to COVID-19 was a 90-year-old female.

The Coastal region includes Bryan, Bulloch, Camden, Chatham, Effingham, Glynn, Liberty, Long, McIntosh, and Screven counties.

Here are the latest roadwork projects, detours, and lane closures that will impact travel.

A statue in a Bryan County park has become a point of contention in the community and has prompted city officials to consider whether or not it should be removed.  The Georgia legislature, however, approved legislation last spring prohibiting the removal of monuments - Confederate or otherwise.

Lane closures are listed below by interstates and counties. There are a number of them this week so you'll want to plan ahead.
