ATLANTA — Wednesday came and went and brought with it sunshine and slightly higher temperatures, melting off some of the ice that made roads so tricky in the morning following Tuesday's snowfall around much of metro Atlanta -- but not all of it, and some roads in the more heavily-impacted parts of the region remain hazardous on Thursday morning.

As snow fall and icy conditions gripped much of Georgia, the Department of Transportation working overnight to treat roads in Atlanta, and Central, Southern and coastal parts of the state.

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) began treating roads with brine Sunday morning ahead of possible wintry weather.GDOT said in a press release that crews are applying brine – a solution of salt and water used to decrease the probability of freezing – to interstates,

ATLANTA — Travelers are being warned to stay off the roads following snowfall around Atlanta on Tuesday. The continuing cold snap iced over any roads that haven't been cleared. A Georgia Department of Transportation notice said due to the inclement weather, "motorists need to stay off the roads."

ATLANTA - As a winter storm approaches, both the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and the city of Atlanta are taking proactive measures to ensure public safety. GDOT crews have already been dispatched to brine interstates and other critical routes.

Crews with the Georgia Department of Transportation are out pre-treating roads with brine around the clock, trying to stay ahead of the below freezing temperatures over the next few days and the potential road hazards that could bring.

This storm system is so big, so unpredictable at this time, and the temperatures are going to be so extreme,” said Dale.

ATLANTA — Due to winter weather that could potentially cause hazardous conditions, the Georgia Department of Transportation has shut down use of express lanes on Interstate 75. The closures will impact express lanes on the I-75 northwest corridor and the I-75 south metro areas.

The winter storm that hit large parts of Georgia Tuesday is over, but state Department of Transportation crews were continuing to treat and plow roads Wednesday in areas that haven’t seen significant snow in decades.

Wednesday temperatures are not expected to climb much above freezing, leaving little opportunity for the snow that froze overnight to melt.

Gov. Brian Kemp has issued a state of emergency for all of Georgia over the next batch of incoming winter weather. Here's what we know.
