I-85 North to I-285 East ramp

This issue down by the airport could be tricky for a while - a tractor trailer overturned on the ramp here and as of 5 a.m. had it entirely closed. No word on injuries at this time.

Definitely plan ahead if you have to pass through this way -- the Georgia Department of Transportation currently has an estimated end time of 6 a.m.

Best way around this one is probably just to go up to exit at Camp Creek Parkway and then head back east to I-85 or the airport.
