I will never drive thru Atlanta again. Why? Atlanta is under construction - always. Also, the right lane is exit only.
I think this is a bit overstated.
I believe that there has NOT been major construction on I-75/85 through Atlanta for the past 3 years or so.
And once you figure out that the right lane pretty much always is exit only all the way through downtown, why would that CONTINUE to be a problem in the future??
Going through Atlanta usually is not too bad; weekdays between 10A and 2P or before 6A or after 8P, 6 days a week and all day Sunday.
If you expect to go through (or around) any major city at rush hour without problems you just aren't being realistic.
Oh and the alternative routes given in the last two posts are both reasonably good and a bit more interesting than I-75.
