For our citizens that are traveling north this Christmas please use caution on Georgia’s roadways. Communities across the state are about to see temperatures that they haven't experienced in a decade or more, and we just want to urge all citizens to be ready.
Georgia DOT will be closing all Georgia Express Lanes at midnight Thursday into Friday. Motorists in affected areas are asked to plan now to limit travel Thursday into Friday morning. If you must venture out during this time, please give GDOT crews room and space on the roads to help ensure they can safely do their jobs.
Please be aware of the brine trucks and know they must travel 40 mph to properly apply the treatment. Please pay attention and stay back at least 100 feet.
Black ice is a deadly driving hazard defined as patchy ice on roadways or other transportation surfaces that cannot easily be seen. It is often clear (not white) with the black road surface visible underneath. It is most prevalent during the early morning hours, especially after snow melt on the roadways has a chance to refreeze over night when the temperature drops below freezing. Black ice can also form when roadways are slick from rain and temperatures drop below freezing overnight.#WinterWeather
