ATLANTA — Atlanta Fire Rescue crews are investigating what sparked the flames underneath a bridge near Piedmont Road NE and Lindbergh Drive NE Wednesday night.
Crews responded to reports of a fire just after 8:15 p.m. Officials shut down Piedmont Road NE and Lindbergh Drive NE going south as they tried to put out the fire. Firefighters said the brush fire was under the Piedmont Bridge near Garson Road but was quickly extinguished.
Video from earlier in the night shows smoke engulfing much of the area as fire crews blocked off the intersection. Visibility by Anthem Automotive near the Buckhead line was reduced by the smoke, with crews canvassing the area and directing traffic.
Atlanta Fire Rescue has requested Georgia's Department of Transportation to survey the bridge's damage.
Officials said no one was hurt and reopened the roads around 10:30 p.m.
The Atlanta Department of Transportation inspected the bridge Wednesday night and deemed the affected area safe, according to AFR. Authorities said the bridge is fully operational and open to traffic.
Investigators are now working to learn what caused the fire.
