I-75/85 North shutdown snarls morning commute

Morning commuters who rely on I-75/85 to travel north of downtown Atlanta will have a tricky drive Thursday morning.

All northbound lanes of the interstate are shut down past Peachtree Street near Pine Street and Ralph McGill Boulevard and until at least North Avenue. According to the Georgia Department of Transportation, the Downtown Connector closed around 5 a.m.

Traffic impacts are apparent south of Mechanicsville and north into Midtown and Buckhead.
