Traveling Home/Traffic

[kiddiedoc]

Thought this might be helpful to work our way around heavy congestion. 75 between Macon and Atl looks like a parking lot on traffic maps. We jumped onto 129 to 441 to I-20 just east of Macon, and it's smooth sailing.

On I95 right now, traffic is awful on GA/SC border for some reason.

We're stuck in this crap on 75 now. Ridiculous.

We saw that ahead of time and used I-16, wide open.

The Waze app is great, by the way, or Google maps with live traffic.

Drove back after game. No traffic problems.

We are north of Atlanta mile marker 271 and its still slow moving.

Same here... I was a little frustrated with my brother for being so pushy about leaving last night. Looks like it may have paid off.

Ate bone-in Delmonico, celebrated with battle-tested friends, ended a long post-season drought in style.

I left at 1:30am. Best decision of the weekend

Flew and home

I-95 stays traffic stays bad through the I-26 interchange

I won't say I tried to tell everybody but ....

Where? I know every detour there is down through there.

Our trip down was smooth all the way down 75. 7.5 hours flat. This trip home, not so much. You like us continuing up 441, then 20 over to the loop?

You must have had an arguement with someone. Who leaves ANYWHERE at 1:30AM?

Less traffic. Some like traveling overnight.

If you're headed up 441, you're pretty much committed to that route. You can cut across in a few places, but probably best to go all the way to Madison and catch I-20. Probably 30 minutes from Madison to I-285.

And I'm compelled to tell you that one of the most insane southern style restaurants you'll ever see is on the route you're taking. Blue Willow Inn in Social Circle.

Thanks. Now you had me googling the place and I can't go right now because I live over 7 hours away.

That place might be worth going 7 hours out of the way.

I'll make sure to eat there, when I make a future trip to Athens.

 

[kiddiedoc]

If it wasn't 5 miles of the interstate, we'd probably go.

Starting point, Locusts Grove.

We left Jacksonville at 6:30 this morning, and I just got back to my house in Knoxville about 45 minutes ago. Was a good call for us to leave early as well, but even still there was a lot of congestion around ATL and Chattanooga. Nothing that ever brought us to a complete stop, but definitely slow going for a few stretches.

 

[volboy81]

Traffic was very slow about 5-10 miles S of Chattanooga on 75 but it was okay once 24 split off. 75 to Kville was good. That was about 2pm
