I run it both ways 75 down to 285 and around the west side. Construction is bad now but during non commute hours its doable.

We also take a different route which is all 4 lane with 55-65 speeds to totally bypass ALL the Atlanta congestion. As an alternative for a more peaceful, scenic and relaxing pace get off I75 on GA 53 in Calhoun south of Chattanooga. Go west to Rome and take the east bypass around Rome to US 27 south to LaGrange. At LaGrange catch I-185 south to Columbus, then the GA 520 SE through Ft Benning (it become US 82 at Dawson ) then take GA520/US82 to Tifton and get back on I-75. All good road . A few towns and plenty to see and do but no traffic . Not that much longer time wise and a reasonable pathway-- especially if you hit ATL when its a parking lot.

Heading south through Atlanta couple questions, 1) is there a good time to drive through? 2) would it be wise to go down 95 south or even 65 south? leaving from cincinnati, traveling to Miami fl.

I like coming down 75 to Chattanogga to Birmington,Ala to Montgomery,Ala down 231 thru Dothan to I-10...mabe 100 miles longer but nice ride..Chuck

Mickey,
I'm a fellow Cincinnatian. I will NEVER drive through Atlanta again. Reasons?
The right hand lane exits, so you have to move over. OK unless you drive something that folks can't see around - like an RV. If you happen to have room to merge to the left, you will soon be in the right hand exit lane - Again. The right lane ends and a new lane starts on the far left.
I quit trying. I take I-65 south to Pensacola, then east to I-75 again for the west coast or I-95 for the east coast. Longer? Yes, but your sanity will appreciate it.

Yes, just miss the work crowd. Also midnight to 5:00AM works just fine also.
