Whats up with the connector south?

[ironchef]

So I'm leaving school (GA State) around 6ish, and I get onto the connector northbound @ MLK JR boulevard. I look left and south on the connector is completely empty. I'm like :eek:, never seen that before. So, I keep going north and finally I see cars just about past the exit for Emory Hospital. Anyone know what happened? I looked on the news sites, and found nothing.

The Vice President is/was here.

^^^ what he said. The VP was in town and the GSP had it blocked for his motorcade heading to the airport.
