The westbound lanes of I-285 at Jonesboro Road have reopened after being closed for about two hours following a crane accident.
The large crane jackknifed around 7:30 a.m., blocking all westbound lanes.
One eastbound lane of the Perimeter was also shut down after the cab of the crane went over the median wall and into the eastbound emergency lane.
There were no immediate reports of injuries.
All lanes of the interstate were reopened about 9:30 a.m., but westbound traffic was backed up more than 4 miles to beyond Bouldercrest Road.
