WOW! These routes to avoid Atlanta add 200 miles and 4 hours. What's the point?
Not sure what you are talking about but, this route, we are talking about, only adds 57 miles and 1 hour and 13 minutes. Evidently you have never got caught in a 2 or 3 hour traffic jam in Atlanta. Not to mention the white knuckle excitement time to be had by all.
You may well be right, but when I used Google maps, I got the 200 miles and 4 hours.
And just so you know, I live 60 miles northeast of Atlanta so I know the traffic much better than you!
It really depends on the starting point. The OP is in Wisconsin. You are NE of Atlanta. The OP will probably come down the length of Illinois, then pick up I-24 to go east to Nashville, where he has a choice of continuing on I-24 to connect with I-75 south at Chattanooga OR he can just get on I-65 south at Nashville and continue down to Montgomery, then Hwy 231, etc. It's a straight shot from Nashville down to I-10.
I also have been caught in too many traffic jams in Atlanta.
