Traffic Shift Scheduled for US 84 Satilla River Bridge Construction
WAYCROSS, GA - The Georgia Department of Transportation (DOT) announces a new traffic pattern as construction progresses on Stage Two of the US 84 bridge project over the Satilla River.

Weather permitting, beginning Wednesday, October 1, traffic on US 84 will be shifted to the newly constructed northside of the Satilla River and Overflow Bridges at the Pierce/Ware County line. This traffic shift is scheduled to occur overnight to minimize the impacts to the traveling public.

During traffic shifts, drivers can expect travel delays due to lane adjustments and relocation of heavy equipment and materials. This change in traffic pattern will allow crews to begin the next phase of bridge construction.

This traffic shift is an essential part of Georgia DOT's ongoing effort to replace and improve the Satilla River crossing on US 84. The public's patience and cooperation are greatly appreciated as Georgia DOT works diligently to complete this vital infrastructure project.

Motorists are strongly advised to exercise caution, allow extra travel time, obey speed limits and watch for workers in the area. Responsible driving is key to ensuring everyone's safety.

Georgia Department of Transportation plans, constructs and maintains Georgia's state and federal highways. We're involved in bridge, waterway, public transit, rail, general aviation, bike and pedestrian programs. And we help local governments maintain their roads. Georgia DOT and its nearly 4,000 employees are committed to delivering a transportation system focused on innovation, safety, sustainability and mobility. The Department's vision is to boost Georgia's competitiveness through leadership in transportation.
