Major arteries in the South — I-285, I-85, I-75 and I-20 in Atlanta and I-65, I-20/59 and I-459 in Birmingham — at times in the last 24 hours have looked like parking lots, rather than open highways, and thousands were left stranded on the road over night in both cities.
The conditions have carried over into Wednesday, too, as parts of I-75, I-85, I-285 and I-20 in Atlanta remain stopped or closed due to road conditions or accidents and parts of I-65 and I-20/59 in Birmingham are entering their second day of full standstill, due to road conditions, crashes and closures.
National Guard troops in both states have been dispatched, and authorities in both Atlanta and Birmingham are asking cars and trucks to stay off the roads.
