Northbound view approaching the Fulton Street and Central Avenue exit. The ramp to Central Avenue passes overtop of the Downtown Connector (I-75/85), as a high-speed directional ramp before merging with Central Avenue on the west side of the Freeway. Once Downtown, Central Avenue is one of Atlanta's most important north-south streets. |

Southerly view as the HOV lane exit to Williams Street departs from the southbound lanes of the Downtown Connector. Williams Street is one of the principal arterials through Downtown Atlanta. For a U.S. city, Downtown Atlanta is amazingly vibrant. There are several noteworthy attractions Downtown including the Georgia Aquarium, the World of Coke, and Centennial Olympic Park. |

Southbound signage for the ramp to Interstate 75 North. I-85 enters Atlanta from the north on a southwesterly tangent, so while this overhead signage is indeed leading to a wrong-way movement -- it is not as an abrupt direction change as the signage would suggest. |

Advanced signage for the ramp to Interstate 75-North from I-85 South. Even before the Downtown Connector begins, Interstate 85 is already a wide road. |
