As if Atlanta traffic wasn't bad enough already, they've just reported that the Northbound side of I-85 has collapsed.

[BipolarBob]

Not a wildfire just all of my birthday candles lit at one time. Sorry.

jk

I would never live near Atlanta for a variety of reasons. Traffic is probably number one.

[PAR35]

At least it was after the bulk of rush hour. MARTA is going to have a lot new customers tomorrow.

what the heck? Per Pic from link

part of the interstate has collapsed and fire is coming from underneath the part still standing

[PLMerite]

Could be worse. Could be a quarter-inch of snow.

[ctdonath2]

DANG.

That's one of the most congested areas in the country - and it's the fast part. Losing an entire bridge span of I-85 is going to make Atlanta traffic basically impassable.

[Cobra64]

Was this a bridge that collapsed?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Car bomb. Islamic terrorist attack.

[janetjanet998]

local media reporting some type of storage containers caught fire under the freeway

[BenLurkin]

It would take a burning gas tanker to do that

Time for Trump to kick off the infrastructure project and get bridges and other things fixed.

[SeeSharp]

At least it’s inside the loop.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Watching it on WSB now. Traffic backup a nightmare, worse than I have ever seen

[lurk]

A legit heavy building company could have that span back in operation in 2 weeks.

[Nifster]

Part of 85 north bound has collapsed

This happened in the Bay Area when a tanker truck caught on fire. That is not the cause of the fire here but I guarantee this is going to be a mess for some time to come

Let’s see how Atlanta does. In California, after the Northridge Earthquake, the governor at the time (Pete Wilson, a Republican), called up the president of the largest highway construction firm and told him to rebuild the I-10 overpass that had TOTALLY COLLAPSED in West LA (roughly 14 lanes wide). He also said that it was an emergency, and that he didn’t give a damn about minority set-asides, women-owned businesses, small-and-disadvantaged contractors, racial ‘equity’, or any other crap.

Traffic was flowing in a month.

[DAVEY CROCKETT]

So now let’s start the conversation of at what temperature does concrete burn...I don’t know.

[boycott]

It’s going to be miserable for a few months. I already hate driving through Atlanta.

We had major parts of our interstate wiped out by Hurricanes Katrina and Ivan and it took months to get those bridges in order.

[PLMerite]

Okay, new safety rule: DON’T PUT HAZARDOUS MATERIALS UNDER CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE.

Well, here’s something for Trump to spend money on.
