Part of Interstate 85 collapsed north of downtown Atlanta Thursday night after a massive fire broke out under the busy highway during afternoon rush hour traffic.
The fire broke out at around 6 p.m. Atlanta fire officials told Fox 5 the blaze caught giant spools of plastic utility conduits which were being stored under the overpass.

I used to work about half a click from where it fell. It's in Buckhead. 350,000 cars a day go through there. With that route effectively shut down, the secondary roads that are already a nightmare during our 4 hour rush hour will be even worse. I'm glad I work from home...
There is a simple, if not inconvenient. The Army o2ns a shitload of bridge equipment. That have either sent to USAR/NG units or dropped from the rolls. Get as much Baily bridging they need to open. It may only be only be lane, but one is OPEN not closed.
