While Im not a Trump fan I do think he is a better choice than Hillary and in the end I think he will be funstional as a president,

Just to be clear, I wasnīt digging at Trump as a hater, only stating the fact he had just ordered reduced funds for infrastructure & the DoT.
Within a day or so, this happens, was kind of ironic, a big shame for Atlanta, but very amusing to know Trumpīs dealing all the wrong cards. While you say Trump was the better evil to choose, I feel this is wrong as Hillary was a born governor or president, while Trump was handed a lot of money from his father & now has had more bankruptcies than you can count on your hands & doesnīt know how to run a country, he runs a golf club, that the wonderful people of the USof A are paying for, giving him more money than he has sense.

You can bet that new rules will prohibit the storage of such things under Interstate Highways and probably all bridges and overpasses.
IF you are travelling locally in Atlanta vi Interstate 85 GET AND USE the WAZE app. There are plenty of viable alternatives but I would avoid morning and evening rush hours regardless...unless totally necessary.
If you are passing through Atlanta north OR south bound USE I 285 no ifs ands or buts.. If you live in Atlanta it might be a good time to start using MARTA even though they are already raising prices..leave it to the crooked politicians in this city to take advantage of a tragedy...the good thing...not one single person was hurt in the collapse or the fire..not even a scratch.
