Wanted to let all know that a portion of the I-85 North bridge at Piedmont/GA400 has collapsed.There was a fire that caused a portion of the interstate to collapse. Right now interstate 85 is completely closed both south and north bound at this location.They have no time frame when the road will be open due to possible other structural damage to the roadway.WSB TV Bridge Collapse in AtlantaPlease stay away from this area. Multiple roads closed around this collapsed bridge.

Thanks for posting. I imagine traffic will be a mess for a good while. We are headed near there in a couple weeks...I85 northbound from Montgomery AL., loop 285 around south side of Atlanta, then I20 to Columbia SC. I have looked for months for a east-west route that is farther south of Atlanta. I might just take I10 to I95.

Currently travelling on I75 to Detroit from Florida. Can someone please tell me if this bridge collapse affects my travels? Thank you.

The loop is even worse than the highways straight through town.Rob

Thank you.I would imagine that it would effect the drive in regards to additional traffic from people that normally would use I 85.All of our news channels are showing this and telling people to find other ways around the city. This means that I 20, I 285 and I 75 are all going to take the brunt of this. They said they are gearing up FEMA and GDOT to start accessing but I know it will be closed for a while.
