Take I75 94 miles to I-10W..... 166 miles to US 231, exit 130....... then approx 98 miles to I65 north (Montgomery). From there you can GPS wherever you are going. Completely bypasses Georgia. Good luck.
That seems extreme. There must be a better way. Now, aps on phones direct minute to minute around clogged traffic.
