Holy shite, come to think of it, that I-85 bridge collapse/fire may make a crazy traffic situation in the Atlanta area due to SunTrust Park even worse for this year. I didn't even think of it until now.

The area that collapsed is near Sandy Springs, and I can't remember where exactly, but I remember reading articles from a while ago that said SunTrust Park traffic might get redirected into Sandy Springs, and when you put on top of it, the I-85 detour traffic due to the collapse/fire, oh man.

It's nowhere near the new ballpark.

Da fuq... The area that collapsed is nowhere near SS. It's near midtown/Cheshire Bridge area... if you know where Grindhouse Burgers on Piedmont is, it's very close to there.

It still may make traffic worse, due to re-routing a lot of traffic onto 285 (which already sucks), but this isn't really "close" to the park.

The collapse was 85 between 400 and 75. Sandy Springs is up at 400 and 285.

It's probably the worst possible section of highway in the city to be shutdown, and that includes the connector downtown. It will effect Braves traffic because it will effect traffic all over the Inner Metro. It's a nightmare.
