It looks like Atlanta can’t catch a break when it comes to traffic.
Just two weeks after the collapse of an I-85 bridge, GDOT will now have to turn some of its attention to Interstate 20 west. WSB-TV reported the highway buckled Monday morning, causing several blocked lanes.
Pictures show a cracked bump in the HOV lane between the Flat Shoals Road exit and Gresham Road overpass, affecting travel into Atlanta. Police say a gas leak caused the buckle, WSB reported.
Earlier Monday morning, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported a chemical spill on the Downtown Connector blocked both sides of the interstate for hours. The spill was caused by an car accident, with both drivers now being charged.

Seems like it is missing some rebar contractor saving money to pay of the inspector

Wow, and during the night, the main interstates, 75/85 through the heart of Atlanta were closed due to a chemical spill. One problem after another.

IF ONLY someone had a few $Trillion available for “shovel ready’ projects, we could have fixed some of these things.

HTF does a gas leak cause this much damage? Who was the contractor that built the road?

I thought He-lies-a had Atlanta ready for the 31st Century, or whatever his last public fart was all about...

One might think that the ground caved in (bad civil engineering?) and ruptured the pipe as well as causing the road to buckle too.
Gas released has to go somewhere, but I’d expect it to emerge on the sides of the road. Did it catch fire?

Moving the Capital out of Atlanta would help a little.
