A single-lane closure is set to begin along Avondale Road, between Center Street and Lake Street, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday, May 21, while crews work to rehabilitate approximately 341 linear feet of aging, ductile-iron sewer pipe, according to a press release.

This section of Avondale Road will reopen on Friday, May 22.

The DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management has initiated this construction project as a part of ongoing maintenance to repair approximately 100,000 linear feet of sewer pipe to improve sewer service countywide.

Motorists and MARTA passengers should expect traffic delays stemming from the lane closure. Signs and traffic flaggers will assist motorists in moving safely around the lane closure. Our construction crews will work diligently to minimize the length of impact to motorists and MARTA passengers.
