Not sure if this is new news to you guys or not. But I live in Atlanta and have friends and family that live north of Atl.
Well just to let you guys know, as I'm not sure how it'll effect the routes around Atlanta. But they have started work(actually started a couple months ago) on the outer perimeter of Atlanta.
From what I've seen/heard it's going to run somewhere along hwy 92 across 41 through emerson and go to rome (which rocks cause i hate the drive from cartersville to rome).
I'm not sure where the other parts are going to run, but it looks like it'll keep a lot of people from going all the way down 75 to Atlanta just to go back up 85 and such.
just thought you guys would like to know.
I just found a link in Wikipedia all about it.
