ATLANTA — The busiest stretch of interstate in Atlanta is about to be even more of a headache.
Crews are in the midst of a major repaving project on the Downtown Connector.
Triple Team Traffic’s Mike Shields has the best alternatives to avoid any delays.
You can expect to see lane closures along the I-75/85 north and southbound lanes through anywhere between 17th Street and University Avenue.

“But watch out for crews to be actively working, especially in the northbound lanes as you leave North Avenue trying to work your way up the 17th Street,” Shields said.
Shields said some great alternatives in and out of midtown and downtown are Highway 41, Northside Drive. Closer to the airport, use University Avenue and Metropolitan Parkway, which is the same road, but just changes names.
Peachtree Street is always an option out of Midtown as well to avoid the connector.
“And of course, you can use Atlanta’s bypass, I-285, to avoid delays in and out of midtown and downtown,” Shields said.
The roadwork will set up after 8 p.m. Monday and last till at least 5 a.m. Tuesday.
