DeKalb County's North Carter Road Closure Extended to February 28 for Scott Boulevard Water Main ProjectSource: DeKalb County Georgia

Drivers in DeKalb County should brace for continued inconvenience as the North Carter Road closure is extended until February 28. This additional time is needed for crews to push forward with construction activities for the Scott Boulevard Water Main Replacement Project's Phase III—an effort taking place between Forrest Boulevard and Chester Way. Traffic is expected to be impacted, and delays should be anticipated.

Measures are being taken to mitigate traffic challenges during this period, the DeKalb County officials have implemented precautionary signs and deployed traffic flaggers to help drivers navigate the lane closure, and these efforts should ease the congestion somewhat but delays are unavoidable so commuters are advised to seek alternate routes or allow for extra travel time. For more details about the project and updates, the Department of Watershed Management (DWM) encourages the public to visit their website at www.dekalbwatershed.com, or reach out to their hotline at 1-800-986-1108.

The road closure has been extended for another month to allow more time for infrastructure work. Local businesses and residents have been notified and will receive further updates.

This extension highlights the challenges of urban infrastructure projects and their impact on daily life, reflecting the city's commitment to growth and improved utility services.
