ROCKDALE COUNTY, Ga. — Rockdale County will continue to feel the impacts of a chemical fire at a Biolab facility that started on Sunday morning.

Approximately 17,000 people were evacuated from their homes. The county said Monday morning that it is extending the shelter-in-place order until further notice.

Officials also said they expected Interstate 20 to remain closed eastbound and westbound from Turner Hill Road to Almon Road. The closures were “based on unpredictable path and wind direction” of the chemicals in the air.

Just before 7 a.m., the Georgia Department of Transportation reopened I-20 on both sides.

“As of 6:52am, we have been given the go ahead from GDOT, in coordination with Environmental Protection Agency, to open the interstate both east and west bound. All other road closures will remain in place,” the Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement Monday.
