Residents and travelers in Decatur should note that a section of Craigie Avenue will be facing closures for the next two weeks to allow for essential water infrastructure improvements. According to a recent announcement from DeKalb County, Craigie Avenue between Brown Place and Haven Lane will be off-limits to through traffic from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday, up until December 20.
The closure is due to a water main replacement project specifically located at 2803 Craigie Avenue. Detour and road closure signs will be in place to direct the flow of traffic and alert the motorists of the constraints and construction activity within the vicinity. The routine disruption is deemed necessary for the overhaul of the aging water infrastructure, as detailed by DeKalb County's official website.
Local residents looking to navigate the closures and any potential impact on their daily commute should plan alternative routes ahead of time. The county's advisory assures that access will be maintained for local traffic, suggesting minimum impact on residents' ability to reach their homes and businesses directly affected by the construction work. For additional details or inquiries regarding the disruption, interested parties are encouraged to contact Drew Smith, the project engineer from Garney Construction, at 813-675-7878.
