Traveling southbound through Atlanta on I-75 in 5th wheel
We are traveling Christmas weekend. Is it better to go through Atlanta on Saturday or Sunday? Or is that when they do construction?

Actually we have been pretty agressive in road surfacing on 285 in the last few years.
285 road surface is pretty good as well it should be. Millions have been spent lately there. The problem is that 2 interstate size surface roads (Ga 400 and Ga 315) dump thousands of autos and truck into the mix daily and I-75, I-85 and I-20 all dump the huge amount of trucks they carry on it. The metro areas are growing steadily but there basically is no where to add other lanes to 285.
We keep talking about 'the outer loop" that might be part of the solution and adding a 2nd level of top of 285. With the costs of property in the metro Atlanta are being astronomically high even higher on and inside the loop we are talking billions and billions of dollars.
I get started running my mouth. Please forgive me.
Drive straight through on I-75. Less trucks and wider lanes. Stay away from the right lane - it has a tendency to disappear with very little warning. Run with the traffic and try to keep up what is going on as far ahead as you can.
