Parts of I-285 near Langford Parkway now back open following bridge damage, officials say

No injuries have been reported.

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Two lanes of I-285 near Langford Parkway were shut down Monday due to bridge damage, according to the Georgia Department of Transportation.

Those lanes remained closed well into the evening. Parts of the interstate were opened back up as crews finished their work Monday night, having patched up a hole on the bridge.

Atlanta Fire explained police officers saw part of the bridge, reporting that it looked like it was caving in. They initially said an inspection found pieces of the bridge had the "capability to collapse." It was later determined in an inspection that the bridge had no structural integrity issues, according to authorities.

There are no reported injuries, according to the Fulton County Sheriff's office.
