PSA: Stay in the fast lane on inner I-285 west side near the river

Build Back Better and the Infrastructure Bills are not working

Those are “human infrastructure” bills for the most part. You can’t work if you don’t have a phone, food and free stuff of some sort lol!! Great for inflation to boot! I sense taxes will keep rising like everything else to pay for actual, physical infrastructure, in fact I know they are.

Hey, don't expect ATLANTA to fix potholes, when they've barely got enough
money and materials and manpower to do the important stuff
like paint gay flags on the streets so the queers can feel PRIDE.

My guy Sam Hyde has always been decades ahead of the curve.

I saw that last week. Thank goodness traffic was at a crawl. The truck in front of me went over one of those pieces that had to be 6X6 and the whole piece moved a foot up and down.

Well I drove through again today slow and I see that GDOT still has not fixed the worst potholes on the inner loop on the west side.

500 feet before South Cobb drive in the second lane from right the hole is now more than a foot deep, with a bent steel rod about half way down.
Between south Cobb drive and atlanta road there are two more bad holes.

Shredded truck tires and hubcaps all over. Broke down vehicles.

Stay out of the second lane from the right. The worst holes are in the second lane from the right.

All dude talks about is the postal service going on for months now.

They did just repave the entirety of 285 between perimeter mall and spaghetti junction both sides. So I guess that's something.

I lost 2 windshields within a month on 285 between I-75 and I-20 on the west side from chunks of crumbling concrete getting kicked up from the road.

I drive it daily and they will not fix it until there is a complete failure that causes multiple vehicles sustain damage/ become disabled or there is an accident. It’s gone like this for years, ever since they expanded the Paces Ferry exit. Our county commissioner at the time was a Delta pilot and I would say, “moderate to severe turbulence on 285”.

They thought using asphalt north of Paces Ferry, but I am noticing that is failing bad as well. Lots of enlongated potholes along the seams and rocks getting kicked up. It sucks with chipped windshields.

But hey, I shouldn’t tell the experts what to use or how to do their job….
