Drivers in DeKalb County should prepare for some traffic adjustments as emergency repairs are set to begin on North Druid Hills Road. According to the DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management, a critical repair on a leaking water main will necessitate a lane closure between Spring Creek Road and Willivee Drive starting Tuesday, October 22, 2024.

The repair work is slated for overnight hours, kicking off at 10:00 p.m. and aiming for completion by 5:00 a.m., and while the engineers and construction crews are going to work fast to fix the problem, local residents and businesses might feel the pinch as water service interruptions are expected to last several hours; the goal here is to keep the inconvenience as short as humanly possible. Detour signs have popped up to guide vehicles around the construction zone, preparing motorists to navigate around the restricted traffic flow.

For those looking for more details on how their evening commutes or nighttime routines might be affected, the DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management has set up a dedicated hotline and email for inquiries. Potential affected parties can dial up 1-800-986-1108 or shoot an email over to [email protected] to get their questions answered.
