As Florida residents and some Georgia residents evacuate due to Hurricane Ian’s approach, the Georgia Department of Transportation has announced that the I-75 express lanes will run Northbound only until the storm passes.
The lanes were changed to Northbound only at 10:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Early this morning Hurricane Ian was a Category 4 storm that was just 2 miles per hour away from being a Category 5 as it approaches Florida.
In Georgia, the storm is expected to bring rain, wind and possible tornados starting on Thursday. The brunt of the impact to Georgia is expected on Friday through Sunday.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp has declared a state of emergency due to Hurricane Ian and Mayor Van Johnson of Savannah has declared a local state of emergency for Savannah.
