Due to recent rain, upgrades on the Tilly Mill Road project will be conducted from Friday to Sunday. Motorists are advised to use alternate routes and try to avoid the area during this period.

The road closure and detour will begin at the intersection of North Peachtree Road at Tilly Mill Road and extend east to Peeler Road, beginning 8 p.m. Friday and ending noon Saturday. The detour will re-route traffic north of the road closure via Happy Hollow Road, Dunwoody Club Drive and Tilly Mill Road.

On Saturday afternoon the section of Tilly Mill Road will be open to one lane for additional work all day Saturday and Sunday. A police presence will be maintained at both intersections during the road closure and detour period. Road widening will continue over the next several weeks. All lane closures on weekdays will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Weather permitting, the project is expected to be finished this spring.
