Commuters on southbound Hwy. 169 and southbound 494 are going absolutely nowhere fast. It's 40 minutes or more on both routes from 94 down the Crosstown.

Northbound 169 is at 24 minutes from Crosstown to 394.

Speaking of Crosstown, westbound drivers need 20 minutes or more from Cedar Avenue to Hwy. 169.

Thinking of using Hwy. 100. That won't save you any time as it, too, is plugged up.

Northbound 35W and northbound Cedar Avenue are starting to loosen up. But it's still 20 minutes from County 42 up to Crosstown.

FILE -- A rent deposit slot at an apartment complex in Tucker, Ga., on July 21, 2020. As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.
