All lanes on I-20 West between Candler and Gresham roads in DeKalb County are closed after the highway buckled Monday, police said.



Two to three lanes should be open by 5 p.m. Monday, Georgia Department of Transportation officials said, but the damage isn’t expected to be repaired until noon Tuesday.

“Work was being performed in the area on behalf of Atlanta Gas Light,” said Melissa Clontz, a spokeswoman for the utility company.

Like Trump was the first to come up with the idea of fixing our infrastructure, or that he will actually do anything about it.

5. It seems clear what he will do about it

Turn the interstates into toll roads. That Dude at work will just have to pay some Chinese company for the privilege of their commute each day.

3. I know. We're screwed.

I commute from inside the perimeter to the outside. My wife has it worse.
