[QUOTE="Uncle Hud, post: 1360258, member: 29492"] If you were routing through Atlanta to get to EOM or SFO, check your plans carefully. As you probably heard, we had a bridge collapse yesterday during rush hour: [URL="https://www.cnn.com/2017/03/31/us/atlanta-interstate-85-fire-collapse/index.html"]https://www.cnn.com/2017/03/31/us/atlant ... index.html[/URL] A section of the I-85 viaduct, near its junction with I-75 and GA 400, collapsed due to a (pretty cool, actually) fire. Miraculously, no one was hurt. Five lanes wide, and won't be fixed for at least 2 to 3 months at a minimum. That's five [B]NORTHBOUND[/B] lanes completely gone from our already-overloaded interstate system. It's likely that [B]SOUTHBOUND[/B] lanes get re-opened in a week or so, after inspectors verify there's no damage to that viaduct. You can go around the city on I-285, and I-285 will still have connections to all the through freeways. With this vital link removed from our highway network, I can only recommend that you go around town, or through it on I-20, and only between 7 pm and 6 am. [/QUOTE]
