For weeks at a time this summer, parts of the Krog Street tunnel will be closed daily for construction of the Atlanta Beltline.

In addition to general construction of the Eastside Trail extension, the closure will allow for the installation of handrails and lighting, Beltline officials said.

The northbound closure is slated for June 12-30, and the southbound closure for July 1-21. The lanes will be closed between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

The Krog Street tunnel closures may bring back some painful memories for locals.

When a Halloween masquerade ball closed the beloved tunnel for some 30 hours in 2014, many Cabbagetown residents were unhappy about the intrusion.
