BAINBRIDGE, Ga. (WCTV) - The City of Bainbridge announced road closures began on Monday as water lines and a manhole are installed in the area.

Wheat Avenue from Water Street to Martin Luther King Jr. Drive is closed and will “be accessible to local residents only during the day and reopened completely in the evening,” according to the city.
