Part of I-20 highway buckles near Atlanta

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.

We’ll have to nuke Atlanta from orbit. It’s the only way to save it for sure.

Doesn’t seem like it caught fire from the photo, however, still looks like GA got some really cheap ass road work done.

[bar sin·is·ter]

Yep, there’s the source if your gas leak.

[Rannug]

Nah. No expansion joints.

Hey, that turd’s from Baltimore.

God has to be disappointed every time rednecks turn in a hick job. Rednecks should be proud of what they do.

Damn gophers.

Atlanta can’t be all bad. It’s the headquarters of Chick-Fil-A.

If I still lived in Georgia, I would be strongly pushing for that. No reason to leave it in that dump. They could sell or give the buildings to the County.

It should be moved to a real southern city. Then we can destroy the Chicago of the South.

I once ate at a Chick-Fil-A in Buckhead. Into the place walked Truett Cathy himself. Either the staff was familiar with him already or they didn't recognize him at all as he ordered his food (yes, and paid for it too). But I did. How?

Because that was his face on the mural as you entered the restaurant. And there aren't TOO many 80-something's riding around on Harley-Davidsons THAT classic.

Before Atlanta, the capital was Milledgeville in Baldwin County. If the old Georgia capitol buildings are still in existence, just refurbish them.

Last week, both directions on the perimeter were shut down due to gas spill.

So glad I work at home now.

Looks OK to me. Good running start and hit that ramp like Evil Knievel, and BOOM! you’re at the Georgia Dome. Or maybe on top of it.

Bonus points for self immolation while charging that SOB in a Smart Car. Maybe posthumously get your own action figure- complete with severed limbs and 3rd degree burns!

No fire. With that kind of buckling, I’d expect a fire would be ... massive.

Lovely red. But the democrats want us all to use less expressways, less cars, more walking, right?

[GOPJ]

Is Atlanta a corrupt city descending into hellhole status?

[yarddog]

That happened around 40 years ago. It has simply gotten worse.

I lived in Chicago of the North and am here to tell the tale
