Travel through Atlanta

Does anyone have tips or ideas about getting through Atlanta? We are heading to Ft Meyers from Ohio on I-75 and will be going through Atlanta on Monday Nov 27th late morning. We (my wife and I) have a 5th wheel. I just dread the thought of going through there.
Thanks, Jim

    We don't go thru Atlanta any more we us US 27. Plenty of ACOE CG's along the way.



    Where do you pick up 27? Where to you get back on heading south?
    Thanks
  • Thanks. We went through there last year late morning mid week with the camper. It was a slow go on the north side till I got to the split for bypass. From that point traffic was fine. I did notice that staying in the right lanes were much slower and then discovered why. Apparently all semis have to use the bypass. I think if I stay on the left lanes I might be ok. Is that a good strategy? I think since there's two of us I can even use the HOV lanes. Any tips? Thanks Jim
  • Late morning I would stay on I75 and go through Atlanta and not get on the perimeter I285. Stay in the next land to the last on the right as there are exit only lanes.
