Toombs County Announces Plans for Addressing Road Conditions

The storms that have passed through our County this past Sunday and Monday has caused numerous flooding and road hazard situations throughout Toombs County. Various local government agencies have been surveying potentially hazardous areas. We currently have several roads that are temporarily closed and the possibility exists that there could be more until flooding recedes. Currently, we are assessing the damage that has been to our road system and placing the appropriate warning and/or close signs on the roads as conditions dictate. As soon as conditions allow, the Toombs County Road continued from page

Department will begin the process of repairing the damage and returning the roads to their normal condition as soon as possible. We ask that everyone be patient during this process as we perform the repairs in a safe and efficient manner that will allow our citizens to have safe passage to their homes and jobs.

Chairman David Sikes noted, “Our first concern is the safety of our citizens and insuring they are safe in their homes. As we evaluate the damage caused by the storms, we encourage our friends and neighbors to use their best judgment when traveling for the next few days.”

Should any citizen notice a hazardous road condition caused by the storms, please report that directly to the Commissioners’ office at 912-5263311 or after hours to 911 Dispatch at 912-526-9292 (Non-Emergency).
