Heads up, Atlanta commuters and pedestrians: A portion of Peachtree Street SW will be closed temporarily today. If you're planning to navigate through downtown Atlanta, between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., you'll need to seek alternate routes. The Atlanta Department of Transportation (ATLDOT) announced the closure, which stretches from Martin Luther King, Jr., Drive SW to Alabama Street SW, due to the removal of signage at 54 Peachtree Street SW, without providing further details on the signage itself.
For those accustomed to the hustle of city life, you can still make your way down west-side sidewalks; they're staying open. But for drivers, there are detours spelled out by ATLDOT. Southbound travelers will be diverted along Edgewood St SW, onto Marietta St SW, down Forsyth St SW, and then over to Mitchell St SW to rejoin Peachtree. The northbound detour sends drivers on a loop via Martin Luther King, Jr Dr SW, Forsyth St SW, Marietta St SW, then back onto Pryor St SW and Wall St SW to find Peachtree again.
Remember, for the most up-to-date traffic conditions and information on road closures in Atlanta, check in with the ATLDOT website, or sign up for alerts that can help you steer clear of delays and unexpected detours.
