south to Macon... will I-285 take me around the problem or is it south of there ???
Take 285 to 75. 285 will take you around the problem.
I-285 will work, and so will I-75. 285 will take longer, but 75 downtown might be a gridlock (not too horrible at this hour).
SR400 south from the perimeter will take you right into the middle of the mess, so don’t do that. It’s on I-85, between the 75-85 split and SR400.
If you are north of Atlanta. From 75 south, take 285 west to the airport. If you are going to Macon, best to take 285 east, then 675 to 75 south of Atlanta. You shouldn’t have a problem.
Just made that trip 2 weeks ago. Use 285 to go around Atlanta & connect back onto 75 near the airport.
