Bridge run, Christmas parade to impact CAT services

Savannah, Ga. – Chatham Area Transit services will be impacted by two downtown events on Saturday, Dec. 7.

Starting as early as 6 a.m., the Enmarket Savannah Bridge run will cause buses to be rerouted and delayed.

The Dot shuttle will not operate during the race, but will begin regular operations after the race when downtown streets have been reopened to traffic. Some impacts are expected to last until about 3 p.m.

CAT’s Savannah Belles Ferry will operate its regular schedule.

Then starting at about 5:30 p.m. the Savannah Waterfront Association’s Annual Lighted Christmas Parade is expected to impact three bus routes until about 7:30 p.m.

The routes that will be impacted are the Downtown Dot and Forsyth Dot loops, in addition to the 14 Abercorn.
