(Georgia DOT photo)ATLANTA – The Georgia Department of Transportation is preparing for another winter weather event expected to have impacts across much of the state, beginning during the early morning hours of Saturday. Georgia DOT crews will focus on interstates and critical and high-priority routes, followed by treatment of additional routes as conditions allow. Georgia DOT urges the public to remain aware of weather alerts and avoid travel whenever possible on Saturday and Sunday. Georgia DOT recognizes that many Georgians are already fatigued by back-to-back winter storms and repeated requests to stay off the roads. Drivers should expect to see Georgia DOT crews pretreating the areas in preparation of the incoming weather.
