I'm driving to FL next week and usually go through downtown Atlanta. How messed up is the traffic because of the closing of I-85?
If Florida means Orlando taking 95 to I-4 and over would also work.From where are you driving? If driving 75 from the north run around the city to the west on 285 (the bridge is just northeast of downtown. If coming from the north (of Richmond) , you could stay on 95 to Jacksonville Fl and its only about 50 miles over to LakeCity and I75 in north Florida (i-10) Or further south cut over from at Charlotte Nc take i-77 , to Columbia SC and then I-20 into Atlanta (south of downtown)
Again run around the south side of Atlanta on 285 to 75.

I'm coming down I-75. What about when I'm northbound a week later. Will the 285 bypass work then?
Used this route last weekend, driving north on 75. No problems at 1 AM, which is when we usually try to hit Atlanta....In the past we go through downtown, but did not this trip, due to the bridge crash.From where are you driving?

A big thank you to everyone for their help. I took the bypass both ways and it went smoothly...probably the fastest I have EVER driven through Atlanta.
Yes, but as you realize, you didn't drive through it, just around it. Nasty traffic city.
