What would happen if a major Texas highway had to shut down?

Published on March 31, 2017 under CommunityImpact

A major fire caused a bridge over Georgia’s integral I-85 to collapse Thursday evening. According to the Associated Press, Georgia’s transportation chief is saying the highway has no opening date set for the foreseeable future and no way to forecast when it might be safe enough to travel again along the major highway. I-85 is home to 250,000 cars traveling back and forth through Atlanta per day. “We will have to continue to evaluate the situation and adjust as we do,” Department of Transportation Commissioner Russell McMurry said. “This incident—make no bones about it—will have a tremendous impact on travel.”
