The traffic around Atlanta has now officially jumped the shark and turned into high comedy.
First, the addition of SunTrust Park cause many worries about traffic on the west and north side of the perimeter. Some of these worries ended up being perfectly justified given all of the resulting construction in the area combined with the normal congestion in the area given that the roads and transportation system in Atlanta were seemingly constructed by the Joker....”some men just want to watch the world burn”.
Then, in what could have not been foreseen, a fire was set under 1-85 which spread to construction materials that had inexplicably stored under the major highway which resulted in a section of a major interstate melting.
