ATLANTA – A large fire has caused an overpass on Interstate 85 to collapse.

The massive blaze that is burning underneath I-85 NB near Piedmont Road has shut down several roads in northeast Atlanta.

Witnesses say troopers were telling cars to turn around on the bridge because they were concerned about its integrity. Minutes later, the bridge collapsed.

The fire department says the fire is under control and no firefighters were injured.

Channel 2’s Aaron Diamant learned trucks from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport are using foam usually used for plane crashes to put out the fire.
