Downtown Connector Shutdown Causes Traffic Chaos After Suspicious Object Investigation in Atlanta

• Share on:

On Monday afternoon, the Downtown Connector was closed in both directions as Atlanta police investigated a suspicious object found on the shoulder near Decatur Street. The object was examined by the APD Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit and was determined to be inert, allowing I-75/85 to reopen. However, traffic congestion persisted north of I-20, near Grady Memorial Hospital, as the investigation continued.
