Alternative Routes to DLH Corporation Atlanta Headquarters after I-85 Fire

Atlanta, Georgia (April 1, 2017)—On Thursday, March 30, 2017, an elevated section of northbound Interstate 85 (I-85), a major north-south artery for Southeast Atlanta, collapsed after a massive fire. Due to the severity of the highway collapse, Georgia Governor Nathan Deal has declared a state of emergency for Fulton County.

Unfortunately, the fire occurred near Piedmont Road, which is near the main access road to our Corporate Headquarters. We still will be open for business during normal hours. However, access to the office may be difficult. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and other State and local transit agencies are working to identify all possible options for commuters. Please see the alternative routes that GDOT has released for highway travel. You also can contact us directly at 770–554–3545 with any questions or concerns regarding office access.
