Heads up, Decatur drivers: a stretch of Carter Road is set to close for a month. According to DeKalb County's latest announcement, road closures are coming to Carter Road between S Columbia Drive and Midway Road. The shutdown, running from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., starts on Monday, September 30 and will continue through Wednesday, October 30.
The reason for this inconvenience is a water main replacement at 1218 Carter Road, so brace yourselves for some detour signs. These will guide motorists around the construction work and enforce local traffic restrictions during the closure period. Although through traffic is banned, residents within the affected area can breathe a sigh of relief, as they will still have access to their homes.
Anyone with concerns, inquiries, or an insatiable desire to chat about road closures can reach out to Drew Smith, the project engineer from Garney Construction. Smith's line at 813-675-7878 is open for those in need of clarifications or further information on the project timeline and scope.
