Labor Day Traffic on 75/85 Connector in Downtown Atlanta Could Be At Its Worst This Weekend

Testimonials

I don’t have any medical bills, I’m receiving revenue for my pain and suffering, and I’m very appreciative. I am truly satisfied with the results of my case.
"The best part about having James Murphy as my workers' compensationlawyer is that I have someone to speak for me..."
The initial phone call made me feel as though they really cared. They made us feel like a number, and Murphy & Associates didn't. My wife and I have never gone through something like this before and accidents can be devastating to a family because of loss of income, pain and suffering.
Murphy & Associates made my experience fast and easy, and got the job done.
Murphy & Associates Car Accident Law firm is professional, efficient, and a pleasant experience doing business with.
I was involved in a rear-end collision while stopped at a red light. Mr. Murphy and his staff guided me through this long process from obtaining medical treatment to settling with the other party's insurance company.

Labor Day Traffic on 75/85 Connector in Downtown Atlanta Could Be At Its Worst This Weekend

The Department of Transportation (DOT) is still working to re-pave parts of the I-75/ I-85 Connector through downtown Atlanta on nights and weekends, meaning that traffic during the upcoming three-day weekend could cause extreme delays for the 130,000 or more visitors to the Atlanta area for events. According to The Atlanta-Journal Constitution, the Clemson-Alabama football game at the Georgia Dome (which will be featured on ESPN’s College "Game Day") is expected to bring around 100,000 visitors to Atlanta. A local science fiction convention, Dragon Con, could add 30,000 to that number of out-of-town vehicles navigating the downtown connector.

The DOT has suggested that people headed downtown this weekend take the MARTA train or take I-285 to I-20 as an alternative route. Should rain delay the construction, traffic problems may be eased for the weekend, but the re-paving would likely continue for several weekends rather than coming to an end after Labor Day weekend.
