Power outages and downed trees have closed several Sandy Springs roadways, shuttered Municipal Court and delayed the opening of City Hall, officials said Friday morning.

Due to a power outage, Municipal Court is closed in Sandy Springs Friday, said city spokeswoman Sharon Kraun. Those with scheduled court appearances are asked to call next week to receive a new court date.

City Hall will not open until at least 10 a.m. Non-essential personnel are asked to contact their supervisors before reporting to work.

Downed trees have closed several roadways, including: Dalyrmple Road between Brandon Mill Road and Dunhill Terrace; the intersection of Heards Ferry Rd and Mt. Vernon Highway; Eastbound lane of Abernathy Road between Sentry Hill Trail and Glenridge Drive; Duncourtney Drive between Westserhall and Earslton Drive; 700 Riverside Drive; 4939 Northside Drive; 5254 Powers Ferry and Spalding; west of Glenridge.

Sandy Springs also has a number of smaller roads blocked by trees and debris, said Kraun.

Motorists are asked to use extreme caution.
