I-85 northbound reopens after crash investigation near airport

It had been closed for more than two hours on Tuesday.

ATLANTA — If you were heading toward Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Tuesday morning, you probably ran into some major traffic issues.

A crash was blocking all northbound lanes of Interstate 85 at Old National Highway right before you get to Riverdale Road in South Fulton. It happened around 3:45 a.m. and the road reopened around 6 a.m.

We offered you this alternate route during the 11Alive Red Alert: 

If you live on the southside or are trying to get to the airport, you can take I-85 north to Flat Shoals Road, head east to Old National Highway and then take that back to I-285. Another alternate would be to take Highway 29/Roosevelt Highway around the crash.
