I-75 Southbound - Avoid Chattanooga?

We didn't have any issues with Chattanooga but Atlanta was a pain. Missed the bypass by being in the wrong lane and no chance to get over. Went thru town with the crazy lane changers. But we made it.

We go through there all of the time. Never had an issue. There are two campgrounds just south of Chattanooga that we like: Best Holiday Trav-L-Park and Battlefield.

As said earlier avoid Atlanta at all costs.

Thanks for the info, but how is Highway 60?

Chattanooga was easy last week mid morning. Atlanta a 2 hour nightmare the day before, took 2 hours to get through on I 24e to I 75n 3-5 pm. We thought that going into Atlanta at 3, before rush hour we would be good to slide through. Not so. dry roads , Wrecks galore.
We overnighted at Altoona dam an hour short of our reserved campsite near Chattanooga due to my frazzled nerves.
Atlanta is on our never again list.

This. Same thing for Atlanta.

BUT.....all bets are OFF right now and pre-Xmas traffic may make ANY route you take a lot worse than normal.

I would be more concerned about Atlanta.
