The Georgia Department of Transportation reported no problems on metro Atlanta roads on a chilly Tuesday morning, but that could change.

GDOT spokeswoman Natale Dale said road temperatures were hovering between 32 and 34 degrees Tuesday morning. If the roads freeze, they could become hazardous.

“Staying in or delayed start is highly recommended,” Dale said.

GDOT crews applied brine to metro Atlanta interstates, state routes, bridges and overpasses beginning Monday afternoon.
