Is that still a good route or should I be looking at going through Birmingham to get to 10 and catch 75 to TV? Understanding we may be getting another dose.
We drove that route earlier this week from TV up through Atlanta on 75 to Nashville. Roads are open, gas plentiful. Prices were running $2.83 to $3.09/gal.
The only hurricane damage we ran into was at Valdosta, GA, with trees down, road signs/billboards mangled and shredded. Half the city without power, traffic lights nonfunctional, but roads were open. You shouldn't have any trouble getting through. I just wouldn't stop in Valdosta. Expect VERY heavy traffic in both directions, but especially southbound from Nashville though Atlanta. No explanation for it. Almost more semis than cars!! Safe travels!!
