The Dawson County Sheriff’s Office is warning area residents of various road hazards following the movement of a storm system through the region on Tuesday.

In an updated Wednesday morning Facebook post, DCSO cautioned area drivers about black ice and slick roadways for various routes throughout the county. A downed tree was reported at Tanner Hall and Spriggs roads. 

DCSO cautioned motorists to keep a look out for downed trees, power lines and other debris which may have blown onto roads. 

Roadwork

Maintenance roadwork along the Dawson County portion of Ga. 53 will not be done while the road is wet, according to Georgia Department of Transportation spokesperson Elizabeth Johnson. 

If the roadway is still wet on Wednesday, then work would have to be postponed until the road surface is dry, Johnson added.
