Part of a southwest Atlanta road is closed due to sewer work.

Crews will install a manhole on Selig Drive SW between Indeco Boulevard SW and Bakers Ferry Road SW, resulting in a week-long 24-hour road closure from April 4 to April 11. The work hours will be 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The suggested detour is to go from Selig Drive SW onto Bakers Ferry Road SW, then to Fulton Industrial Boulevard SW.

Traffic control measures will be in place to guide motorists around the work zone. Drivers are asked to avoid the area if possible.
