At 6:12 p.m. on Thursday, March 30, a fire underneath an Atlanta I-85 bridge was reported to authorities. By 7 p.m. the bridge had collapsed.
Astonishingly, despite this incredible event happening during rush hour toΒ one of the cityβs busiest thoroughfares, there were no major injuries reported. President Donald Trump and Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao this week credited Atlantaβs first responders with ensuring the publicβs safety that day and thanked many of them in person at the White House for their heroic efforts.
