Atlanta's I-75/85 connector closed for 2.5 hours due to a mental health emergency on an overpass.

Atlanta's I-75/85 downtown connector was closed in both directions on Friday evening due to a person experiencing a mental health emergency on the 10th Street overpass. The closure, lasting about 2.5 hours, caused significant traffic congestion. Authorities suggest using Northside Drive, Peachtree Street, or I-285 as alternate routes. The individual was taken into custody by 9 p.m., and the exact reopening time of the lanes was uncertain.
