Atlanta commuters caught a break Tuesday morning: Repair work on Interstate 20 was completed a few hours ahead of schedule.
Georgia Department of Transportation spokeswoman Natalie Dale originally expected I-20 to be reopened around noon, but shortly after 6 a.m., all westbound lanes of the roadway were repaired.
All westbound lanes around Candler and Gresham roads were shut down for hours after part of the roadway buckled Monday.
An official with Atlanta Gas Light says a contractor was working in the area at the time, and an investigation is underway.
In other Atlanta traffic news, Buford Highway has reopened between North Druid Hills and West Druid Hills.
A fire underneath a bridge had that area shut down for a few hours while crews made sure that bridge was safe.
