Gwinnett Braves for the win. Half the price and a better product on the field. Buford is the place to be.

Actually, I'm screwed. I take 85 to 285 and now that 285 will have twice the traffic on it and it already takes me 45 minutes to get from 85 to Dunwoody on a good day.

Yes. There were about 10 trailer loads of PVC conduit stored under the bridge. This sucks for everyone that passes through there. I sell commercial concrete and everyone of my projects that had morning pours scheduled have already cancelled. That corridor is right outside our midtown plant and is the route we use to get into Buckhead. Talking to customers tonight and we are at a loss of how to approach this because the secondary routes were already to jammed up to get to those projects efficiently. Now EVERYBODY is going to be on them. Going South into Midtown is not a problem but the Buckhead projects are going to get hurt bad. They might have to lift the work hours ordinance to allow these projects to pour at midnight. What a terrible thing to happen.

Someone's fricked. Would not be surprised for this to turn out to be arson. Someone fricking around in there that shouldn't have been there probably. shite doesn't just catch on fire by itself.

Yeah. Going to be part of that late Atlanta crowd though. I have a feeling that it'll be worse than usual.

doesn't look like things that would spontaneously combust or burn that hot that it would get to a temperature to compromise steel and concrete

It'll really 6 months to a year to get back up and running?

Thats 6 of the prefab spans. I'm guessing about a month. But I'm sure they'll be working 24-7 to get it done.
