Can You Travel In and Out of Chattanooga?

With winter weather still affecting parts of our state, traveling in or out of Chattanooga is a concern for many.

In Chattanooga, most of the city is able to be travelled with the exceptions of some roads in the higher elevations.

Officials still warn drivers to stay home if travel is not absolutely necessary.

As always, try to avoid travel if possible due to the potential for ice and snow on the roadways, but if you must be out, have a plan of action in case of an emergency.
