ATLANTA — Flash flooding snarled travel on Interstate 75 North in Clayton County.
Flooding closed all lanes near the intersection of Interstate 285 at Mile Marker 238 Saturday.
The Georgia Department of Transportation reported that roadway has since reopened.
At least one lane was closed at Grant Parkway earlier. A GDOT camera Saturday afternoon showed HERO vehicles on the scene, but that flooding has apparently cleared up since then.
Rain and storms moved through metro Atlanta and north Georgia on Saturday as part of a system that produced severe thunderstorms.
Some low-lying areas in metro Atlanta are susceptible to flooding during downpours.
