Severe winter weather conditions in northern Alabama have prompted the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) to close roads and issue travel advisories. Snow and ice have created treacherous conditions, causing significant traffic disruptions across the state.

To keep residents informed, ALDOT has set up ALgotraffic.com, a website and mobile app with traffic cameras placed strategically throughout Alabama. These cameras offer real-time updates on road conditions, allowing users to filter by city, counties, roadways, and regions.

The impact of the severe winter weather can be seen on the website's real-time map, particularly in the northern part of the state. This area has been heavily affected, with most activities coming to a halt due to the hazardous road conditions.

The Alabama Department of Transportation issued a warning on its website, urging non-essential travel to be avoided in North Alabama. With temperatures dropping to single digits in certain areas, the entire state is currently under a hard freeze warning.

As the snow and ice continue to pose challenges for both drivers and pedestrians, ALDOT continues to monitor and update road conditions in order to ensure public safety. Motorists are urged to exercise caution and patience when traveling in affected areas.
