GDOT Crews treat Roadways

The Georgia Department of Transportation began brine treatment of interstates, state routes, bridges and overpasses Friday morning in the northern parts of the state in preparation of the arrival of wintery precipitation. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Storm Warning through 7pm Friday evening.  Crews in Northeast Georgia will monitor conditions and continue treatment overnight on bridges and roadways in Rabun, White, Towns, Lumpkin, Union, Habersham, and Dawson counties, and continue to treat through the day Friday as needed.  Please be aware of the brine trucks in your areas given they must travel 40 mph to properly apply the treatment. Pay attention to Georgia DOT trucks spreading materials and stay back a safe distance.
