Quo Vadis? Wither goest thou? Thursday on the Top End Perimeter there was a huge truck fire on 285 westbound between Chamblee Dunwoody & Ashford Dunwoody roads. The flatbed had been carrying bails of hay that caught fire. The driver managed to get his burning rig over to the side. Unfortunately the fire spread to the nearby trees. It took firemen hours to douse all the hot-spots. Part of the flatbed literally melted. They had to bring in cranes and front-loaders to help clean it up. And that heavy equipment got caught in the heavy delays, delaying the heavy lifting until later. Traffic backed up for almost 11 miles all the way down past the Stone Mountain Freeway! So whaddya’ do? Where do you go? I-285 across the top of the Atlanta doesn’t give you many choices. You’ve got to know your side streets. And yesterday that didn’t help because those surface streets were flooded with drivers bailing off trying to get around thus creating more gridlock. So in a case like that where do you go? All you can do is go with the flow.
