Two southeast Atlanta roads will remain closed for sewer work, The Atlanta Watershed Department said in a news release.

Oakview Road and Lakeview Drive began closures on Thursday. They will close daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. until work is complete, according to the department.

Lakeview Drive between Hosea L. Williams Drive and Ridgedale Road is closed for two week. Oakview Road between Hosea L. Williams Drive and First Avenue is closed for five weeks.

Residents who typically park on the street must find alternative parking. They will still have access to mail, trash pick-up and emergency services.
