Last December, driving from St. Louis to South Florida, there were some tieups on the interstate just South of Chatanooga and into Northern Georgia.

Has this all been cleared up? Or should I plan on spending Christmas sitting in traffic?

Any other hot spots to watch for along the way?

Thanks

I drove from Atlanta to Knoxville several times over the summer, and IIRC there’s still some construction north (?) of Chattanooga (I presume you’re talking about I-75). I usually went through there late at night, so I don’t really know how bad the traffic there is. Chattanooga can be a pain during rush hour, though not as bad as Atlanta.
