A crash involving an overturned tractor trailer Monday morning has traffic almost at a standstill on Interstate 75 north.
Traffic is backed up from the I-75/I-24 split past Exit 353 to the Georgia Welcome Center. There also are backups around East Ridge as people try to exit to find alternative routes.
Traffic cameras showed northbound I-75 traffic stopped at 8:30 a.m. near Exit 1 but it started to move again by 8:40 a.m. Traffic headed west on Interstate 24 appears to be moving as well. Traffic maps in Georgia show the traffic back up now is just north of the Battlefield Parkway exit.
