An impassable travel advisory has been issued for Mobile County, urging drivers to stay off the roadways as of approximately 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday

County officials put out a notice that the general public should delay or suspend travel and only emergency vehicles should be on the roads at this time.

“Effective January 21, 2025, all roads and bridges in Mobile County should be considered IMPASSABLE until further notice,” the notice said.

“Members of the general public are advised that when roads and bridges become IMPASSABLE all travel should be suspended or delayed. Only emergency vehicles should travel on county roads and bridges until further notice.”

The county, along with the rest of south Alabama, is currently experiencing a historic winter storm event.

Precipitation and ice from the weather has made the roads unsafe for individuals to drive on.

An announcement will be made once the advisory has ended. Mobile County Public Works will be monitoring the road conditions, county officials said.

At 10 a.m. the Mobile Police Department stated that it had already responded to multiple traffic accidents.
