Injury crash shuts down I-285 in southwest Atlanta

All lanes of Interstate 285 in southwest Atlanta are closed after crashes on both sides of the interstate.

Triple Team Traffic says a crash on the southbound lanes sent concrete debris from the median into the northbound lanes.

That caused investigators to shut down two I-285 SB and all lanes of I-285 NB during the morning commute. The lanes started to reopen just before 7:30 a.m. but police shut down all the lanes again around 9:15 a.m.

With the traffic backups, Triple Team Traffic says the best alternate routes are Fulton Industrial Blvd or I-75/85 northbound.

Police confirmed there were injuries with the crash, but did not say how many or if the injuries were severe.
