Part of a southwest Atlanta road will be closed for 15 days beginning this week, according to a city press release.

Crews will repair a storm drain pipe on Mt. Gilead Road SW, resulting in the 24-hour road closure.

The closure will take place between Campbellton Road SW and Dale Lane SW from Wednesday until Feb. 14.
