Patriot Rail’s Georgia Southern Railroad (GS) will be working in coordination with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), the City of Statesboro, and Bulloch County to complete grade crossing maintenance work at the Veterans Memorial Parkway/US 25 Bypass railroad crossing in Statesboro, Ga.
The work is scheduled to begin on Monday, December 4, 2023, and be completed by Friday, December 8, 2023.
