Update: Roadways Impacted Near Bradley Point Subdivision Due to Ogeechee River Flooding

Aug. 10, 3:30 p.m. update: As of 3 p.m., the City of Savannah’s stormwater modeling indicates that street flooding in the Bradley Point and Villages of Vallambrosia area is likely to increase by up to another 12 inches before water levels begin to recede. Residents in Fords Pointe, Teal Lake, Bush Road and Rice Mill should also monitor conditions closely. Peak water levels are not anticipated to be reached until sometime on Monday or Tuesday. It is extremely important that residents do not attempt to drive down closed roadways, as roadway conditions may be impacted by the presence of water and vehicles are also likely to become stranded in the water. Emergency resources are positioned nearby at Fire Station 12 to assist residents as needed, anyone impacted by flooding and needing assistance can call 912-925-4866. The Savannah Police and Fire Departments will be setting up an emergency outpost within Bradley Point and the American Red Cross is sending resources to the community. Chatham County has announced the availability of a shelter for anyone impacted by the flooding, the shelter is located at Coastal Georgia Comprehensive Academy, 2001 Cynthia Street. It is still expected that Bradley Boulevard will potentially take several days for water levels to recede once the peak level is reached and will remain closed until water levels are reduced below 12 inches. City of Savannah damage assessment teams are on standby to activate to assess any damage that may be caused by this flooding event.
