From Wikipedia:
Interstate 85 (I-85) is a major Interstate Highway that travels northeast-to-southwest in the U.S. state of Georgia. It enters the state at the Alabama state line near West Point, and Lanett, Alabama, traveling through the Atlanta metropolitan area and to the South Carolina state line, where it crosses the Savannah River near Lake Hartwell. I-85 connects northern Georgia with Montgomery, Alabama, to the southwest, and with South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia to the northeast. Within Georgia, I-85 is also designated as the unsigned State Route 403 (SR 403).
I-85 in Georgia usually travels roughly parallel with the route of U.S. Route 29 (US 29). However, from Atlanta northeast to South Carolina, I-85 ventures away from that route, traveling about halfway between US 29 and the combination of US 23 and US 123.
Within the City of Atlanta, I-85 has a concurrency with I-75 known as the "Downtown Connector". After splitting from Downtown Connector, it is known as Northeast Expressway until its junction with I-285 (The Perimeter).
From LaGrange, I-85 heads northeastward towards Atlanta. Before reaching Atlanta, the highway crosses the CSX A&WP Subdivision twice (in the Grantville area) and passes through the suburbs of Moreland, Newnan, Fairburn, and Union City. The highway then intersects I-285 at its southwest end in College Park. This interchange is one of the most complex interchanges in the country (I-285 and I-85 stay side-by side through the interchange, which actually has two parts. The interchange also features many other, not as important local access roads at the same time), meanwhile providing access to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. I-85 then runs along the northwestern boundary of the airport in East Point, providing access to the domestic terminal. (This airport is bounded on all sides by I-85, I-75, and I-285, all of which provide highway access to the airport.) I-75 services the International Terminals of the airport, which are located on the east side of the airport.
At the southwestern edge of Atlanta's city limits, I-85 merges with I-75 to form the Downtown Connector, which is 12 to 14 lanes wide. At the southern edge of downtown Atlanta, this freeway has an interchange with the major east-west Interstate Highway, I-20. The two freeways then skirt the eastern edge of downtown, running due north, passing through the Georgia Tech campus and the Atlantic Station section of Atlanta before the two highways split, with I-75 exits via the right three lanes and then heads northwest while I-85 uses the left three lanes and then heads northeast.
Heading northbound after the Brookwood Interchange with I-75, I-85 is routed along a ten lane wide viaduct from the Buford Highway Connector (exit 86) to State Route 400 (SR 400, exit 87). Continuing northeast of Atlanta, I-85 continues through the northeastern suburbs, bypassing Chamblee and Doraville, where there is another intersection with I-285 (nicknamed Spaghetti Junction). The Interstate then travels through the northeastern suburbs of Atlanta, including Lilburn, Duluth, Lawrenceville, Buford. The Interstate has freeway interchanges with SR 316 in Duluth and I-985 in Suwanee, which provides a link to Gainesville. I-85 eventually leaves the Atlanta metro area as the highway continues into the rural parts of northeast Georgia. At Lake Hartwell, which was formed by the damming of the Savannah River, I-85 crosses the Savannah River into South Carolina.
Im so glad this particular video showed up. It brings back a lot of memories since im from the area. Its mind boggling how much this area has changed over the years. Thank you for posting this
It's pretty neat driving through the segment from the 285 confluence to the connector. You can hear the planes landing at and taking off from Hartsfield/Jackson.
Happy birthday I-85 🥳🥳🥳
Atlanta is such a very beautiful city fr 😎❣️❤️🔥
I love driving on concrete highways!!
Yeah they’re much more enjoyable
@@MileageMikeTravels They tend to make a bit of music when you drive across them.
I thought I was the only one!
@@crollwtide9452 It's usually because of the Tire Effect on Bridge Grooves (also can be put on road surface)
Different states can have different grooving patterns than others, or some have the same as others
I also thought I was the only one who enjoyed this😅
In Atlanta 85 and 75 merge in what's known as the " connector "
Also the famous Grady curve which most traffic reports refer to in skycopter radio blurbs.
Nice interstate drive :)
I-85/285 interchange in Dekalb County, Spaghetti Junction
The GA-316/I-85 is one of my favorite interchanges in the US. It haves 14-20 lanes with impressive collector/distributor lanes. *Sorry I said GA-400 earlier btw*
I agree, and although they look complicated, they're actually easier to navigate through and causes less traffic
3:00 - they have GOT to get that repaved
It has been like this for YEARS
And still is
Edit: they finally repaved it
Went through that part and it scared the crap outta me and i had the exact thought
Bonita ciudad atlanta y sus condados saludos al del video desde México

Thanks 👍
Last time I was in Midtown Atlanta that was back in 2019 before COVID-19 takes over
Must be a nice drive in Atlanta GA on interstate 85 north
this is my almost daily commute. Lol
That is about the least amount of traffic you will ever see in an afternoon. One of the by products of a pandemic...less traffic.
What time of day was this filmed?
Shortly before sunset. Around 6pm if I recall.

What time is there normally not a lot of traffic?
9:00 PM I'd say. Also Sunday is when traffic is better in the day than usual

Do you think you could show the highway around Boston and the one around Burlington, Vermont?
I'm looking at possibly heading to the Northeast in the second half of 2021.

@@MileageMikeTravels nice thats what I thought dashcam are not are that level
Migos brought me here
How so?
You should come to Columbus, Ga
It’s on the list. Eventually I’ll make it there.
It seems like the South side is less developed than the North side
It’s because I-20 was the dividing line between the blacks and whites in the past. It still reflects in Atlanta today but wealth disparity.
