    285 is really worse on weekends - there is no ebb and flow as the mommies are all out shopping all day long with no need to get the kids to and from school and the daddies are all out and about heading to Home Depot being he men.

    Middle of a weekday is much better :D

    As much as it'll add more traffic to my area - look at jumping off at Road Atlanta and running cross country on either 53 or take 369 down to Hwy 20 and over if you've got to just get from 85 to 75.

    Damn, looks like I'll have to pay off my airfence bet. :D

    I said less than 45 days - granted that was talking about replacing one section not the 6 or 7 they are replacing but I didn't state that in the bet.

    Nope - no backpedaling at all - I'll pay up on day 46 (well, soon after, dunno if I'll remember on the day itself).

    All those people that have been trying to make a decision whether they should move to Atlanta or move out of Atlanta....these incidences are answering those questions for you. We are full, the roads can't handle it and yes you should leave or no you should not move here.

    The connector was shut down this morning because of a tractor trailer crash that spilled toxic chemicals. So glad I don't go near that part of town.

    I drove past the collapse yesterday going North on the Access Road... I saw 4 Trucks with new Beams waiting to be unloaded... Once up 400 I saw 2 More En route.... I guess the DOT does show some energy when Bonuses are offered for early completion... They should have tried that shit 15 Years ago when expanding 400..

    Yeah, but is the work going to be good? I'm a little nervous about such a rush job.

    Lawn Dart Difficult. With a big D.

    I've been saying this same thing about Nashville for a little while now too. I-24 is like a Destruction Derby - at least one car flips daily, I-440 looks like the bridge at the end of Escape from New York, and there's been construction on I-65 just about since I was born. :D

    Wow, sucks for all of us trying to get to Tally from SC or I guess east coast. I've been meaning to find a route around Atlanta anyway. Jebus, what is going on in the ATL.
