Atlanta traffic horror: Crews razing fallen highway overpass


As crews rushed to clear debris from a major Atlanta interstate span that collapsed in a raging fire, commuters in the Southeast's largest city braced for the first full workweek without the key link to some of the city's biggest suburbs. Officials pledged after Thursday's collapse of a 350-foot section of Interstate 85 that a replace bridge would be built as soon as possible. But crews were working around the clock again Sunday to finish removing scorched debris from the collapsed northbound span and removing the southbound span weakened by the blaze. The closed section of I-85 is a key link to Atlanta's northern and northeast suburbs. But that was with some schools and a number of nearby offices closed in the immediate aftermath of the fire.
