I-85 Collapses in GA

Section of I-85 Collapses in GA

On Friday, March 31 a bridge along I-85 collapsed in Atlanta, GA affecting traffic, including oversize load travel. 

The Cheshire Bridge road is always busy with traffic, especially during commute times.

Georgia DOT has released some info and tips for drivers and motorists who take the road. 

  • Don’t “block the box”: Highway traffic has been re-routed to many arterials. So remember, it’s against the law to enter an intersection until you can legally and safely exit on the other side.
  • “Steer it and clear it”: If you are involved in a minor traffic incident, safely move vehicles from travel lanes until law enforcement or HERO trucks arrive on the scene to assist.
  • The “Move Over” law: When you see HERO or other emergency response vehicles assisting with an incident, move over to the next lane. If you can’t, slow down to allow responders to safely do their work.
