Roads closures, traffic delays after storm in Macon. See where
Traffic lights malfunctioned and trees blocked some roads after a blustery storm struck Macon Thursday morning, according to the Macon-Bibb County Emergency Management Agency.
The agency urged drivers to avoid certain routes and be cautious of slowed traffic, according to a Facebook post around 8:45 a.m.
Tucker Road was blocked from Thomaston Road to Price Road “due to trees in (powerlines),” the EMA said. Georgia Power was at the scene.
Traffic lights were flashing at Thomaston Road and Interstate 475 Northbound, the Facebook post said.
There were “traffic signal issues” in the Frank Amerson Boulevard and Interstate 75 area, the EMA said.
Crews were clearing downed trees and damaged power lines on North Mumford Road around 10 a.m.
A tree was uprooted and fell across Dennis Place off Shurling Drive in an east Macon neighborhood. A Bibb County Sheriff’s Office vehicle blocked the quiet road from traffic.
“Treat flashing signals or no signals as four-way stops,” the EMA said.
Emergency officials urged people to report broken traffic lights and damage to 478-751-7500.
Visual journalist Katie Tucker assisted with reporting.
