Heads up, Atlanta motorists: Road resurfacing work is set to shift traffic patterns on Peyton Road SW, starting tomorrow. According to the Atlanta Department of Transportation (ATLDOT), the stretch from Martin Luther King, Jr., Drive SW to Benjamin E. Mays Drive SW will be under construction weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. through March 28.
While the surfaces of these streets get a facelift, lane closures will not completely halt the flow; traffic lanes will shift but remain open for cars to pass through during the indicated times. Pedestrians can breathe a sigh of relief; sidewalks in the construction zone should remain unobstructed throughout the project. Yet, there will be those charged to assist with the dance of traffic; enforcement officers and flaggers are set to be on hand to facilitate vehicular movement and pedestrian safety.
For those frequenting the areas under the veil of resurfacing, the temporary inconvenience promises a smoother ride upon its completion. The ATLDOT has made clear their commitment to maintaining accessibility, signaling their readiness to respond to community concerns. Questions or issues that might arise regarding the closure can be addressed by reaching out directly to ATLDOT at [email protected].
