A single-lane closure is set to begin along Candler Road, between Toney Drive and Ellen Way, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, June 8 while crews work to rehabilitate approximately 350 linear feet of aging, ductile-iron sewer pipe. This section of Candler Road will reopen on Tuesday, June 9, according to a press release.

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 county-wide.

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.
