A section of Lakeside Drive NE in Atlanta is currently out of commission due to necessary repairs on a water main, as revealed by the City's Department of Transportation and Department of Watershed Management (DWM). Local residents residing within the closure area, specifically on Lakeside Drive NE between Sims Avenue NE and Kingsboro Road NE, still have driveway access from Sims Avenue NE. The City of Atlanta's Department of Transportation has announced that the closure will remain in effect until the repairs are completed.
Drivers looking for a way around this stretch of Lakeside Drive, NE, won't find themselves entirely without guidance. The city has put detour instructions in place, aiming to reduce the inconvenience for cars heading to and from the affected neighborhoods. According to the City of Atlanta's Department of Transportation website, these alternative routes should help navigate traffic during the disruption.
Southbound traffic on Lakeside Dr NE is directed to turn right onto Kingsboro Rd NE, then left onto Oak Valley Rd NE, followed by a left onto Wright Ave NE, and finally another left to return to Lakeside Dr NE. Alternatively, for those coming east on Wright Ave NE, a left turn onto Lakeside Ave NE, a right onto Sims Ave NE, a left onto Roxboro Rd, and a final left onto Kingsboro Rd brings travelers back on course. Motorists should plan their trips accordingly and factor in extra travel time for potential congestion in these detour areas.
Those with questions or concerns regarding the closure and how it may affect their day-to-day travels are encouraged to contact the Atlanta Department of Transportation. They can be reached via their contact email at [email protected], as provided in the closure notice. As always, the community is urged to monitor the official website for the most current information and any changes to the situation that may occur during the ongoing repairs process.
