Probably best then to take I-77 to I-40 and skip this all together. It will take hours for it to clear up even when it re-opens.

That stretch of I-85 is a nightmare on the best of days. It's more like a narrow 4-lane highway than an interstate. I have no idea how it was allowed to exist like that for 40 years as it's clearly not up to required interstate standards - the designation should never have been given.

So many accidents on that bridge is probably what prompted this rebuilding of that area of the interstate.
