Title: I-85 NB closed in Gaffney, SC
Post by: 74/171FAN on May 23, 2011, 12:25:45 PM
I was headed home from Atlanta yesterday and had to endure around this terrible tractor-trailer accident that happened early Sunday morning on I-85 NB between exits 92 and 95 in SC.  This was so bad that this won't be reopened before Wednesday.  http://www2.wspa.com/news/2011/may/23/20/bridge-i-85-closed-sc-150-bridge-cherokee-county-ar-1875293/ (http://www2.wspa.com/news/2011/may/23/20/bridge-i-85-closed-sc-150-bridge-cherokee-county-ar-1875293/)

I think this section of I-85 should be widened.. hopefully in the future.

This is an terrible accident.

What does this have to do with anything?

If it were wider, you could close three lanes instead of two.
