I hope Jon and anyone else over there avoided this mess and is safe.

Bad link.

here's something from the AJC.

TLDR: Fire on I85 just south of Hwy 400. Fire burned for about an hour, leading to a collapse of a section of 85.

Took us 3 months to rebuild the I59 overpass a few years back. Who wants to bet Atlanta gets it done faster?

there must be some kind of conspiracy behind this because the internet tells me it is not possible for fire to make steel do this.

Not for me. One mile from my office and no where near that.

i am about 2 miles away on surface streets down by the airport and never have to get on the interstates.

Kinda weird how I saw this and my first instinct was to check on my liberal friend and my atheist friend.

Seriously - hope it's not too bad and y'all are safe all the way around.

thanks. i rarely venture north of i-20, but traffic is going to be a nightmare all over the metro area. this has effectively cut off 400 and i-85 north of buford, two of the most congested traffic corridors from the rest of the city.

marta ridership will skyrocket

LOL not sure about your dept of transportation, but I'm very familiar with ALDOT.

Saw on Twitter that it was PVC pipe that caught on fire. Not an expert on incendiaries so not sure if that's legit..

I have heard it was wiring that shorted out. I think they are still sorting out what caused it.

PVC doesn't melt steel beams.

Twitter is having a blast with that one.

Oops.....
