Located for Success

 

Interstate Access

With immediate access to Interstate 16 and Interstate 95, Bryan County's location is ideal for a multitude of industries.  Interstate 95 provides north-south access to major markets along the eastern seaboard while Interstate 16 runs from Savannah to Macon and offers connectivity to Interstate 75, which runs from Miami through Atlanta to the Canadian border just North of Detroit.  Not only are there two major interstates that intersect Bryan County, there are a number of major highways that run through the county as well. 

Port of Savannah

The Port of Savannah, Georgia's gateway to the world and the largest single container terminal in North America, is situated less than 30 miles away from Bryan County.  As the nation's fastest growing container port, the Port of Savannah offers greater flexibility to suit customer needs, faster-to-market service, interstate connections, higher capacity and cargo diversity.  With more than 9,700 feet of contiguous berth space and over three million square feet of available warehouse space, the Port of Savannah is a key reason why the coastal region is a highly sought after area to do business.
