The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office has issued an urgent travel advisory as snow and ice have created dangerous road conditions. I-75, both northbound and southbound, along with I-475, are currently unsafe for travel. The Georgia Department of Transportation is working to clear and reopen the roads, but officials cannot estimate when conditions will improve.

❄️ Why It Matters: Ice and snow are making bridges and overpasses particularly hazardous due to black ice formation, which can lead to sudden skidding and accidents.

🔄 What’s Next: Crews will continue treating and clearing the affected roads, with the public being notified as soon as conditions improve. Until then, the Sheriff’s Office advises staying home to ensure safety.

💡 Remember the Golden Rule: Avoid unnecessary risks. If you see someone in need of assistance or notice worsening conditions, alert local authorities. Safety is a community effort.
