Just drove thru Atlanta on Friday.

Yes, the damage is on I-85............but it backs up onto I-75.

The traffic normally exiting onto I-85 appears to be traveling farther North on I-75, then exiting.

I took I-285 (West) around Atlanta and it really wasn't bad. It was slow going, but rather than adding an hour plus, plus by avoiding Georgia............I thought it wasn't bad at all. It probably took us an additional 45 mins.
