Well then 285 should be fun this Spring and I’m sure dragging well into Summer. Certainly top end. Haha!

When I lived in Atlanta their was gas truck explosion that blew up the bridge between 400 north bound over 285 East.

They State worked around the clock and finished it in 3 months. That was the fastest I’ve seen them rebuild a bridge.

My last five years I worked from home. So I was no longer affected by the horrific Atlanta traffic. The only two metro cities worse than Atlanta are Washington DC and Los Angeles for traffic.

I recall this fire that shut down I-78 in New Jersey. Tire fire at an illegal dump. The article says it happened on Aug. 7th, and the highway reopened the following December!

Yeah, surprisingly, although at times it can really suck, commuting to Rockefeller Plaza from Staten Island usually wasn’t that bad.

The traffic might not move fast in Manhattan, but it does move.
