Hurricane Milton: Peach Pass adjusting lanes to help move evacuees faster

Parts of Florida are under a mandatory evacuation order and many others are leaving as a precaution as Hurricane Milton moves closer to making landfall later this week.

Many of those people are heading north into Georgia and through Atlanta, so Peach Pass wants to help them move through as well as keep normal traffic flowing.

To do so, the I-75 South Metro Express Lanes will only north until further notice.
