Good morning, Alpharetta.

The Georgia Department of Transportation announced that lane closures will begin today on Georgia 400—affecting northbound and southbound lanes over a 16-mile stretch.

Federal data shows traffic volume increases by 18% late in the year and authorities will boost enforcement on the roads—Georgia highway safety officials warn drivers to buckle up, obey speed limits and avoid any impairment from drugs or alcohol.

Allen Poole from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety said extra care is needed so everyone can safely reach their family and friends during the busy season.

Staff from the Public Service Commission said a Georgia Power plan to boost energy production for data centers may add about $20 to average bills, and the commission will decide on the proposal on December 19—balancing expansion with cost concerns.
