ALBANY, Ga. – Winter weather is causing major disruptions across the area.

In Albany, some entry points onto the Liberty Expressway are closed due to unsafe conditions. Officials are urging everyone to stay off the roads to keep them clear for first responders.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the Liberty Expressway entry points have reopened. GDOT said excessive amounts of snow led to the closure and snow has been cleared off the roadway and brine solution has been put down.
