The SEGA Alliance region can best be described as “total modal.” Our transportation assets are exceptionally strong in highways, rail, airports, and sea ports.
Business can easily reach the entire southeast United States in a one-day drive. Interstate 95, one of the main U.S. routes ferrying travelers and traffic north and south, connects Southeast Coastal Georgia within one hour’s drive to both Interstate 16 (East/West) at Savannah and Interstate 10 (East/West) at Jacksonville, FL.
U.S. Hwy. 341 provides direct four-lane access between I-95 in Brunswick and I-75 in Perry, while U.S. 1 / U.S. 301 provides an additional four-lane north-south corridor.
Railways in Southeast Coastal Georgia are closely networked to ports and military installations. Two Class I railway lines—CSX and Norfolk Southern—and three short line railways serve the area’s business interests. Additionally, Amtrak provides passenger rail services from Savannah, Jesup, and Jacksonville. Norfolk Southern services the Port of Brunswick as it travels through a portion of the six county SEGA Alliance region.
The Brunswick Golden Isles Airport (BQK) is six miles north of downtown Brunswick, boasts an 8,000-foot runway and offers multiple daily flights to Hartsville-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, a trip that takes only 37 minutes by air. Five additional airports in the area offer a complete connection for any business need: Jesup-Wayne County Airport, Brantley County Airport, McKinnon St. Simons Airport, Jekyll Island Airport, and Davis Field Airport. In addition, businesses in Southeast Coastal Georgia are less than one hour’s drive to two international airports.
The Port of Brunswick, owned and operated by the Georgia Ports Authority, is 15 miles landward from the open Atlantic Ocean. The channel width is 400 feet and the depth is 36 feet with a vertical height clearance of the Sidney Lanier Bridge of 185 feet (mean high tide). The Port of Brunswick features three shipping terminals—Colonel’s Island, Mayor’s Point, and East River terminals. At 1,700 acres, Colonel’s Island Terminal handles both roll-on/roll-off automobile and heavy equipment shipments as well as agri-bulk commodities. Colonel’s Island is the second busiest U.S. port for total Ro/Ro cargo and Ro/Ro imports. East River Terminal underwent a $5 million modernization project to better accommodate the exportation of wood pellets. Both the East River and Mayor’s Point terminals handle a vast array of forest products and other bulk commodities.
The Port of Savannah and the Port of Jacksonville are both container ports and border the edge of our region. Businesses are able to choose between the two ports and get the best price.
