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.
I take that way all the time, I bypass Atlanta, Chatnooga, and Nashville that way. It may take 1/2 to 1 hour longer, but by avoiding traffic jams it may not be any longer.
