A stretch of Highway 80 between Statesboro and Brooklet is set for widening now that the Georgia Department of Transportation has awarded Bulloch County a $6.4 million grant. The grant will focus on 3 miles of Highway 80 (also State Route 26) between Amanda Road just outside of Statesboro and Old Leefield Road near Brooklet, according to a released announcement from state Sen. Jack Hill (R-Reidsville) and state Rep. Jan Tankersley (R-Brooklet). The project will reconstruct and widen the road, installing passing lanes.
