Georgia, Virginia, Pennsylvania Prepare for Winter Storms

As winter weather threatens several regions, transportation departments are preparing to treat roadways. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) plans to apply brine solutions to hundreds of lane miles across 31 counties starting Sunday, prioritizing major interstates in anticipation of freezing rain and snow. Similarly, Virginia's Department of Transportation (VDOT) is gearing up to plow and treat roads, urging residents to avoid travel during hazardous conditions, as road treatments may be less effective in extremely cold temperatures. In the CSRA, GDOT is coordinating efforts to treat I-20, I-16, and other high-priority routes, also emphasizing the need for drivers to maintain distance from brine trucks. Meanwhile, PennDOT is monitoring a winter storm that could bring heavy snow to South Philadelphia, ready to adjust their response based on accumulation. All agencies are advising caution and preparation as severe weather looms.
