SOUTH FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — All lanes on I-285 westbound between Old National Highway (Exit 62) and Washington Road (Exit 1) have reopened more than 12 hours after a sinkhole was discovered.

GDOT warned drivers to plan ahead, saying the repairs will create delays during the Thursday morning commute.

Drivers traveling on I-285 westbound had to take the Old National Highway collector-distributor ramp (Exit 62) to get on I-285 northbound. In addition, the ramp from I-85 southbound to I-285 westbound was closed.

Triple Team Traffic's Mark Arum and Channel 2's Steve Gehlbach tracked the issues for drivers on the interstate on Channel 2 Action News This Morning.

The stretch of interstate was approximately a mile long.

Drivers traveling to I-85 southbound took the Old National Road collector-distributor (Exit  69) to I-285 northbound.

It was not the only traffic issue drivers had to deal with Thursday morning.

Peachtree Street in Midtown is still closed after a series of underground explosions Wednesday morning.
