Last week, a massive fire caused a section of Atlanta’s Interstate 85 bridge to collapse prompting major traffic backlog. The blaze –supposedly set intentionally – resulted in significant damage and had Atlanta firefighters and recovery crews working overtime to contain the flames and control damage.
Though the arson suspects were arrested swiftly, state officials have announced that the wreckage from the fire will likely take several months to repair. Three different sections of the I-85 will need to be replaced – a whopping 350 feet of highway in total. The extended repair time will have huge impacts for the thousands of people who travel the I-85 daily and commuters have been warned to prepare for lengthy detours and crowded commutes for the foreseeable future.
When large-scale disaster’s like this happen local businesses are often left wondering how their organization’s productivity and livelihood will be impacted. Damaged routes, lengthily detours and long repair times pose huge accessibility problems for managers, employees and clients alike. Often business feels stalled – uncertain of how to ensure employees will remain connected and their day-to-day operations won’t take a hit.
