Two right lanes of I-75/85 southbound are shut down near Edgewood Avenue in Atlanta after a vehicle caught fire Wednesday morning.
What’s happening: The closure is at mile marker 247.3 in Fulton County, just before the I-20 interchange. Traffic camera footage shows orange cones blocking the right lanes, with emergency vehicles on the shoulder.
What this means for you: Drivers heading south through downtown Atlanta on I-75/85 can expect backups and find an alternate route. The estimated clearance time has already passed, so conditions may still be active.
The path forward: No updated clearance time has been issued. Drivers can check 511ga.org or the Georgia 511 app for real-time conditions before traveling through the area.
A 63-year-old from Acworth got 10 years behind bars for his road rage incident because he chose to fire 14 rounds into the driver’s side of another car while stopped at a red light. This is not how a civilized society behaves.
