Skip 85 in Atlanta

[johnny]

For those who might be travelling North through Atlanta on I 85, take 285 around town instead. They just managed to light a fire which collapsed a
part of the northbound interstate. Figure 2-5 months for it to reopen.
Anybody going to The Mitty at Road Atlanta in a couple or three weeks? Dunahugh, that's a good track for a Yenko.

Going to replace 3 spans each on both sides. I85 is closed in both
directions for probably 4 months.

For the least worst traffic, if you're going South before noon, or North after noon, use 286 on the East side of town. North before noon, South
after, use 285 on the West side of town. During rush hours both are parking lots, but these are the least worst.

I 20 is South of the break. The move if you're travelling I 75 or I 85, use 285 to 20 from the north, 85 to 20 from the south, and use the east side
for 85, west bside for 75. Add half an hour or more to your trip times if it's daylight, add an hour plus during rush hour.
