Please contact 511 or follow GDOT on Facebook for updates on the status of the bridge overnight.

Prepare for Cold Weather Impacts
Residents should remain prepared for additional power outages and nightly freezes through the coming weekend.

Continue to allow faucets to drip to avoid freezing/broken pipes. Cover outdoor faucets and remove garden hoses. Open cabinet doors to allow heat to get to uninsulated pipes. Should you lose power, use flashlights instead of candles to prevent the risk of fire. Never use an oven to heat your home.

Road conditions could become unsafe due to icy roads and damage to trees from wind. Do not drive unless necessary.
