Fortunately it sounds like nobody was killed. We are not getting through the city for a long time.

It’s proof that only hellfire can make driving through Atlanta worse.

Where exactly is this? I’m always on 75 or 20 to get into the city. Is this near the 249C exit on 75 to get to the aquarium?

There are other ways to make the top of the my commute sucks due to traffic list but damn that is going to be pretty effective.

I85 Northbound just after the 75/85 split is what has collapsed. Southbound bridge is almost certainly damaged. What this means is the top end and I20 will have to absorb 250,000+ cars that go over that bridge every rush hour.

Had to call in the trucks from Hartsfield Airport to put out the fire with foam.

Not my commute - looks bad though. Good thing the police stopped folks from driving on it.

I was scrolling through to see if anyone had posted this. We went out to dinner and could see the smoke in the distance. It was on all the tvs

Fire started underneath the freeway. I haven’t read anything yet for the cause

I know nothing about Atlanta besides what I just said, even though I’ve lived in metro Atlanta my whole life. So I still don’t know where you are, I’m sorry. And I only know that exit because I was just at the auto show haha. Piedmont Road, I don’t know where that is. But that collapse is gonna be bad for a lot of people.

I’m off of 400 my alternate is 85. This won’t effect my daily commute but I often have to go to mid town. Time to load up my Marta card.
