Dangerous Driving Conditions Across Central Alabama

Bill Murray | January 28, 2014 @ 9:31 am

Roads/bridges/overpasses are becoming extremely dangerous due to icing across Central Alabama, generally south of a line from Eutaw to Columbiana to Heflin.

Officials are requesting that there be no travel across the following counties:
Autauga, Bibb, Chambers, Chilton, Coosa, Dallas, Elmore, Hale, Lamar, Lowndes, Macon, Marengo, Montgomery, Perry, Pickens, Randolph, Sumter and Tallapoosa.

A Civil Emergency Message was just issued for those counties.

Several bridges and overpasses are icing in the Montgomery area, including the I-85/65 interchange. I-85 southbound is closed at the interchage.

For Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, Anniston and Gadsden as well as Jasper, Cullman, Fayette, Carrollton and Pell City, a dusting to one inch of snow will fall. This will cause some slippery spots on roads.
