The closure will run from mile marker 5.0 at the North Goddard Road crossing to mile marker 5.80 at the Flatrock Spur crossing.

This sewer main installation is part of DeKalb’s capital improvement program, a $1.3 billion program to improve service and reduce sanitary sewer overflows.

The path is scheduled to reopen in early July.
