I85 in Atlanta partial collapse after fire near downtown.

I meant it's inside the bypass (in Atlanta), not outside where we truckers go. Our normal route remains the same.

 

Back in 2007, a tanker crashed and burned a section of overpass in oakland. Took a few months to repair. Getting steel from china is what took the most time. http://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/oakland-freeway-collapse/

 

True. But now your normal route is going to have MUCH more traffic on it than normal.

Many parts of the loop will be well past the saturation point earlier and for longer

 

Spokesman fro. gA DOT was on road dog radio speaking about it he couldn't give a timeline e but said we aren't talking weeks likely months so I'ma guess 6mo to a year

 

Well, the article said that one of those arrested is homeless. He should be set with three hots and a cot for the foreseeable future.

 

His bond was set at $200,000 by the Fulton County court. Good luck getting that for anyone who is homeless.

 

Any kind of "hickup" in the traffic flow in or around Atlanta will be a pain in the "A".

 

That's going to be a mess for sure.

 

Governor announced yesterday it will reopen on Monday, 5/15 and possibly over the weekend.
