“There was a motorist, one individual on a motorcycle and one individual in a car, that were proceeding west-bound on I-20 when they saw the buckled road,..........But it was too late for them to avert it so they actually went up the broken-up concrete in an upward fashion — as if they were going up in a jump.”

Nope, the Putzmeister 56Z-Meter has a vertical reach of 180 feet, 10 inches.
How much hydrostatic head is that in wet concrete? Anyone?
What's the normal burst pressure of a 36 inch gas pipe?

Either its filling an old pipe with concrete for abandonment, or horizontally boring of a new pipeline crossing when they hit a weak zone.
Regardless of what they were doing at the time, looks like ANOTHER PIPELINE COMPANY screw up. They should have had traffic control on the highway and eyes watching for these kinds of emergencies. Cars jumping off the broken concrete ramps. Shameful way to run a business.

“We can confirm an Atlanta Gas Light contractor was performing work in the area to retire a casing,” company spokeswoman Laura Creekmur said.
Southern Company said a contractor was conducting the routine construction process of filling an empty, non-gas carrying underground pipe sleeve with a cement grout. They said overflow of cement led to the interstate buckling.

or did the pipe burst and no one noticed the road damage ? and so no warnings posted ...
another day in paradise, or is paradise one day closer ?

As the picture shows, a vehicle would probably have run into it rather than ramped it.
No telling how high it was or if the vehicles hit the pile squarely. If you just hit it with 2 side wheels, you would somebody driving on the sidewalls like Joey Chitwood.
