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.
ROTFLOLOL!!!! Priceless! Can’t stop LOL!
Time to kick off the infrastructure program for sure.
**Just take 285 around til you can get on 75/85.**
Just make sure you take 285 Southbound. Northbound to I 78/85 South will bring about challenges of it’s own.
Georgia ought to require a minimum redneck content. There’s saving money, but at what ultimate cost?
Interstates have nothing to do with the City of Atlanta (those belong to the states), but in both cases it was external infrastructure that caused the fire/collapse and not the road itself. So who knows...
True - head towards the airport on 285, then catch 75 or 85 into downtown.
Thread winner. You made me LOL. Thanks!
Where is Sherman now that we need him?
“Yes.”
