We know was powerful when it crossed into Lowndes County last month. How powerful? Apparently strong enough to rip a stop sign from its post and sling it into a pole. This is the 4300 block of N Valdosta Road/US 41/SR 7. Stop sign is maybe 20-30 feet from the ground? The stop sign at the intersection of Valnorth Road and N Valdosta Road was missing and had to be replaced, so sign shop speculates that's where it came from. From the backside of the sign, you can see that it splintered the pole a bit. The pole is not GDOT's.

Just a reminder that GDOT and its contractors are still out there working and will be until the job is done. GDOT's priority was to get all routes open and safe. Done. Our debris contractor has been working in the areas that were most impacted by Hurricane Helene. Operations will be ramping up and should be expanding so you should start seeing their trucks, if you haven't already. Some may be accompanied by cut teams. Whether it's contracted debris pick up and haul trucks or GDOT vehicles and equipment, please slow down and be prepared to stop and move over to allow all these individuals a safe working space.

Here’s your daily snapshot of I-75 N traffic in Tift County, about 60 miles from the Florida state line. It’s looking much more like a typical weekday, which holds with the traffic volume increase % from this morning. I-75 N traffic from the FL/GA state line to Macon was up 55%. That’s a big drop from yesterday. Of course, the traffic that has gone north will be coming south once has passed through Florida. Whether you’re local or have evacuated, safe travels and remember, you can call 511 for free roadside assistance on any GA interstate. And 511GA is a great resource for current road conditions. 511 Georgia Georgia Department of Transportation Tift County Emergency Management Agency Tift County, Georgia Government Cook County Fire Department / Emergency Management Agency EMA Cook County Georgia City of Cordele Lowndes County, GA Florida Department of Transportation

A current look at I-75 N traffic a bit south of Eldorado in Tift County. Traffic is still heavier than what we typically see. This morning I-75 volume was three times what it usually is, but average speed was 74 so traffic was moving. Let’s keep it that way, everyone. 511 Georgia Georgia Department of Transportation Tiftarea News Tift County, Georgia Government Florida Department of Transportation Lowndes County, GA Cook County Georgia

Just as we were starting to take a breath from Hurricane Helene, the rapidly intensifying Hurricane Milton is already a category 5 storm & targeting Tampa.

Cars can be seen heading from Florida Northbound into Georgia on I-75 at exit 5 in Lake Park, Georgia on Monday, October 7th at sunset.

A GDOT contractor has been picking up & hauling debris. They were in Berrien & Cook counties today. This was on SR 37 E in Cook Co near Community Church Rd. They have hauled tens of thousands of cubic yards of storm debris in Sowega. Tomorrow 40 hauling units are scheduled to be in Berrien, Coffee & Lowndes counties. These trucks and trailers dwarf the dump trucks that GDOT would use to haul, making the process much faster. Flaggers will be controlling traffic for these trucks and trailers so slow down and be prepared to stop.
