Attention, Atlantans: Chappell Street NW has been closed since 7 a.m. today and will remain closed until project is completed. The closure affects the section between Bernard Street NW and Ezra Church Drive NW for rail repairs. According to the city's advisory, please use alternate routes or follow the posted detour signs.
The closure, due to CSX's maintenance work near 39 Chappell Street NW, requires drivers to adjust their routes. The detours will prevent direct northbound or southbound travel through the area. Visitors and delivery drivers should be informed about these changes.
Concerned about navigating the area? The city has outlined detour directions. Northbound drivers should turn right on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive NW, then left on Burbank Drive NW, and finally left on Joseph E. Boone Boulevard NW to reconnect with Chappell Street NW. Southbound traffic will follow the reverse route. These detours aim to maintain traffic flow.
For any questions or concerns about the detour or the project, contact the Atlanta Department of Transportation at [email protected]. They can provide information about the temporary changes. Both sidewalks on the affected section of Chappell Street will be closed, so pedestrians should plan accordingly.
For updates on ongoing city projects, including the Cheshire Bridge improvements, you can check the status of various initiatives. To stay informed about closures and other changes, visit ATLDOT's traffic advisories.
