How will Trump cope with the tragic problem on I85 Atlanta?
 

Trump's first test of how he will help rebuild the infrastructure. ...will it take 2 to 3 years to rebuild or possibly a decade, with cutbacks to the DoT.

Massive fire burning under I-85 in Atlanta | 11alive.com

this is a serious fire, it started a few hours ago, getting all the trapped cars off be slow. Fixing structural damage months, or years... With so many roads all in same space, could be a massive rebuild.

OMG, the live feed´s mental, listening to these guys, the firefighters think this could take months to put right as the fire was right at the bottom of the roads crossing over!

Ok there is a fire and part of the road collapsed, but why was there a fire in the first place? Was there a traffic accident? Did a gas line break? Did JoushaMo's head explode letting out all that trapped hot air?

Also.. 9/11 truthers.. have any comments? :1orglaugh

seems the fire was on a patch of the road where many lanes crossed, this could take weeks or months to fix, & hearing the live news, it´s the main road in & out of Atlanta.

It could create lots of further problems daily, mainly travel. but this also comes into livelihood, business, relationships & consistently finance.

Without renewing all of those roads, I think about 4 or 5, they won´t be able to allow traffic on them :2 cents:

Yes but why was there a fire?

garry why are you so concerned about a fire in atlanta?? You're in spain dude.

it´s been reported as plastics or PVC...



are you wondering about terrorism?

yet another stupid trump thread. now a fire in georgia is trumps problem, or fault? who knows that the OP is whining about now.

just another meltdown by a dumb lib that trump won.

:1orglaugh

Barbara, you must be high if you don´t have concern for the world around us, shit, I could be in Atlanta before I could think about kicking ya ass :1orglaugh


This seems very serious news, a massive infrastructure problem :2 cents:

Fire officials extinguished a massive fire on I-85 on Thursday night after it burned for more than an hour and led to the collapse of a bridge on the interstate, fire officials said.

if you click the link in my thread, it´s live now...


if Trump makes cuts to DoT, this is going to take 6 yrs to fix! Let´s hope Trump gets impeached & the roads get fixed for all those in Atlanta :2 cents:

you dumbass. it will be fixed within 4 - 6 weeks by the Georgia state highway dept. the states maintain the federal highways. duh.

shut the fuck up already. my god you libs are dumb.

:1orglaugh

fuck you, you stupid idiot...

watch the news right now, listen to it live! You´re nothing but a twat!

here´s what Trumps looking to cut back on...

Here's what Trump's budget proposes to cut - CNNPolitics.com

...

this is going to take months to fix & this is many main roads all destroyed, this is massive!

you should go fuck yourself Joshua :thumbsup

No, I was just wondering why there was a fire. Like if a tanker truck had crashed or a bus full of orphans or if JoushaMo's head really exploded..

:1orglaugh yes, Joshua´s head´s exploded but I don´t think it created the fire...

sadly, half of the bridge has now definitely collapsed. This is going to be tragic for Atlanta city, the food, the work, the vacations.

here´s where it´s happened...

This is going to be like a massive problem for shipments to go in & out of the city, the travel of commuters, colleges, everything, this is big :warning

Shit like this happens all the time

not at all...


this happened on a main highway area where it´s taken out 4 or 5 highways above each other, this is of huge scale :Oh crap

dumb lib shut up...

you have no idea who fixes the roads. no idea how long it takes. no idea CNN is fooling you. no idea that trumps budget are proposals & congress makes the law.

you sound like a fucking toddler.

:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh yeah, nice one twat :thumbsup if you´re what Trump has left, you should follow him & go run, play on the motorway & make sure it´s the 85 outside of atlanta, do us all a favour :321GFY



sadly for the rest of us, it seems that the 20 comes in from the west, the 75 runs north to south through Atlanta & the 85´s the main road east....

this is serious stuff & obviously I do know what I´m on about :Oh crap

2 summers ago i bought a 69 camaro off ebay. I was driving up the turnpike when it became bumper to bumper & eventually a dead stop. A dump truck caught fire under a main highyway blocking the turnpike (both N & S 8 lanes) and the highways above. So don't tell me this doesn't happen. Most highways, infact all, are built by private construction companies such as Bishop, Creamer, Sanzari etc. the DOT just maintains the roads. Which they don't do.

OMG stop! you're supposedly in spain. how dumb would i sound mouthing off about an accident in spain? i would sound like you are sounding now. retarded.

stop whining about trump dumb lib this is about trump not highways dumb lib stop your fucking whining already about trump dumb lib!

fuck off.

:1orglaugh

No brainer. He's going to go play golf this weekend and make some money

Yeah, I mean bridges blow up all the fucking time in Syria..

great story & glad you were ok, but still isn´t the same kind of maintenance that will happen compared to this...

this could be real bad news when you hear this isn´t a turnpike when so many hundreds of thousands use these roads effected :2 cents:

:1orglaugh only person here shouting off is you, you dumb fuck.

I´m feeling for those in Atlanta, you´re an obvious troll with no feeling for anything but your own shitty life.

You have a mental problem, how many times did you just mention Trump, you sound like Dirty Don going on about China...



:1orglaugh go fuck yourself Joshua :321GFY :1orglaugh

seems this is what´s closed right now

spring break traffic starting tomorrow :2 cents:

I too was wondering if Trump would, at the bare minimum, comment about the fire and what happened.

However, it seems to me Trump isn't doing anything at all. We had a situation where I live in California where entire cities were evacuated and Trump didn't even comment. Our military is suddenly pushing further and further into Syria, and we've bombed and killed hundreds of civilians, and Trump hasn't even commented. Russia is opening up a military base in Iran, no comment. Now that Trump has dumped the Asian trade deal, China has stepped in and is signing trade agreements left and right leaving us out in the cold - still no comment.

The White House is completely paralyzed. They have one month to figure out this budget deal, they are already behind on planning and details, the healtcare failure makes it more complicated, and it seems there is a two week recess in the middle of this... Not to mention the entire Trump administration is under investigation.

I am so glad decided to make America great again.

He really has said nothing about anything, all except his own stupid tweets to make his ego feel good!

I´ve just heard about the awful tragic bus crash on 83 near Texas, 13 church goers are all dead, it happened around the similar time to the fire in Atlanta, such a shame, but no tweets from Dirty Don :disgust

He need sum milk

Milk is racist!

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

It is not a Federal problem at this point -- the Federal government does not have a fire department. I85 is an interstate highway so (mostly) federal and (some) state funds will be used in rebuilding the destroyed bridge. Traffic will be very bad in Atlanta for some time.

An appropriate response would come from the USDOT ...

This is cute and all, but I am thinking today while this is still a new instance traffic is somewhere around half the pain in the ass it is on a normal day going into the Lincoln Tunnel

whats this got to do with trump they will just fix the damn bridge
this is the south atlanta is a traffic hellhole anyways

:1orglaugh omfg, people are fking nutz :1orglaugh

Trump´s plan is to cut DoT, shall I continue...

:warning :2 cents:

duh duh duh duh duh duh...

But let's talk about ratings for his TV show he producers. That's what's important.

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

They don't have a month, they have 2 weeks.. It ends April 28th and Congress has a 2 week recess during that time.

Let me guess - nothing from Trump. This is a golden moment, a chance to do good. But nah. Why bother.

This is a state issue, not Trump.

AMP - 44 mins ago - "Investigators are still searching for the cause of the fire that erupted Thursday in a storage area beneath the bridge. ... The bridge collapse in Atlanta from a raging fire illustrates the damage intense heat inflicts on concrete and steel, and the massive disruption that results ..." Atlanta bridge collapse shows how fire defeats concrete, steel

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

The US Military has a lot of firemen.

The US Forrest Service has it's own fire department: https://www.wildfirex.com/u-s-forest-service/

The President wants to rebuild our infrastructure. Well, here is a perfect chance.

^^^ dumb lib waiting for bat signal from NY Times to start race whining.

& is pretending to be irish to boot.

dumb lib.

:1orglaugh

Itll take about 3 months to be back functional several sections must be rebuilt. It isnt a Trump problem is is a GDOT Georgia Dept of Transportation problem and a federal DOT problem, Trump has NOTHING to do with it....it doesnt even need a vote in congress its an emergency fund set up for exactly this sort of thing.. The state has asked for federal help, being that i is an interstate Highway and those funds have already been approved. 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, I fully ecpect that he is positioning to convert Obamacare to Universal and I think and hope he will REALLY tighten down on lobbying...it should be abolished but likely wont be.

Just FYI the fire was fueled by a store area of large PVC pipes. What ignited those pipes has yet to be determined but foul play is NOT suspected at this time, per the FBI.

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.

I know nothing of this road or the bridge or whatever but it seems to me something like a road at spaghetti junction caching fire and all the other roads being affected.
Pretty sure looking at the maps you posted there are other ways to get to your destination. It may be a lot busier than normal but people will find a way.

You can't speculate how long it will take to repair. Normally with situations like this the government will throw it's weight behind it and get it done in several weeks.

Just announced on the news 3 people have been taken into custody on suspicion of starting that fire, no word on if it was accidental or intentional but its not a huge surprise being there are cameras everywhere in that area (hell everywhere anywhere these days). So while it appears that it was at least an act of negligence probably even a criminal act theres no mention of the case being federal except that it was federal property (the interstate not the PVC pipes) in other words it wasnt terror related...at least not at the moment

Just to be clear, I wasn´t 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 Trump´s 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 & doesn´t 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.

fantastic information for those needing Atlanta road awareness, nice one Mike & thank you for your post :thumbsup

exactly what we were thinking & imagining the nightmare it would create for a third of the UK! :helpme

oh, wondering if this was a terrorism attack :Oh crap :2 cents:

Our glorious supreme leader Trump figured out how to handle the situation.. He's gonna let Hot Wheels build the wall I mean bridge for advertising rights. This is a proposed replacement bridge already in the works..
