What's the commute like from Mulberry to the new Siemens plant?
The Short Answer
What's the commute like from Mulberry to the new Siemens plant?
About 25 to 30 minutes to the Pendergrass site on a normal day, with the plant positioned near the I-85 interchange and most of the drive running on highway. Traffic varies with the shift schedule, so treat the range as a planning number, not a promise. The plant is expected to take about three years to complete, so the commute question will keep being measured as it comes online.
Rob's Explanation
The drive runs mostly on highway once you clear the local streets, and the route depends on exactly where in Mulberry you start.
Shift-change traffic concentrates, so the number at 6 a.m. and the number at 5 p.m. are different figures for the same route.
What This Means in Georgia
The Siemens plant near Pendergrass is a Jackson County project at about a $185 million investment targeting roughly 1,400 jobs, announced in August 2026.
What I Would Consider
Time the drive yourself at the hours you would actually travel before you commit to an address; ranges are planning numbers, and your clock is the only one that matters.
