Macon Tracker

Every road closure, water issue, outage, construction notice and transit alert the city's agencies, utilities and newsrooms reported across Macon and the close-in metro, counted week by week. No login, no feed. Just the numbers, and where they landed.

Right nowAll clear. Nothing these sources watch is active this minute.

Construction notices fell from 23 to 18 last week. Road incidents eased. Water and power have held steady.

Weeks start on Sunday. One thing is counted once per place per day, and something that runs for days counts on the day it started. Brief lane blocks that cleared inside an hour are left out, closures scheduled to run longer than a week are roadworks rather than incidents, an outage counts when it left 10 or more customers without power, and stories about policy or funding are not incidents.

What the map says

Tap a row to see it on the map.

Areas are measured from Poplar Street and Cherry Street in downtown Macon: within 2 miles is Downtown Macon, within 8 miles (about where I-475 runs on the west side) is that side of Macon, and beyond that is the metro. An item with no coordinates is counted in the totals but not placed on the map. Corridors come from the road a source named. Interstates are split into the stretch north, south, east or west of downtown Macon, since one number for a whole interstate hides where the trouble is. Areas are the cities of Bibb, Houston and Jones counties: Macon-Bibb County, Warner Robins, Perry, Centerville, Byron and Fort Valley, from the Census Bureau's boundary files. Places that are not incorporated have no area drawn: items there are shown on the metro map.
