Atlanta I-85 bridge collapse: Ga. Power tells employees to stay home

After a massive fire on I-85 northbound just south of Ga. 400 that caused a section of the highway to collapse, Georgia Power has sent a company-wide email to employees who work at its headquarters in downtown Atlanta “encouraging them to work remotely” Friday because of the incident, said spokesman Craig Bell.

“Beyond tomorrow we’re going to have to wait and see,” Bell said. “The good thing is tomorrow is Friday, so it gives both the state and federal crews a chance to come up with a solution. Georgia Power will fall in line with whatever is best for the city.”
