Residents of DeKalb County, gear up for a bit of a detour this month. Starting from July 1, Black Fox Dr., NE, is no more a throughway between Deer Park Rd., NE, and Council Bluff Dr., NE—thanks to a storm drain pipe begging for some emergency TLC. Heads up, though, because this isn't your pop-up, one-day inconvenience; we're talking a full-blown, 29-day roadwork saga that won't wrap until July 29.
For anyone thinking they can breeze through the construction zone, think again; detour signs are up and waving you away, while local traffic gets the green light with a few restrictions. Now considering the arc of city life that bends towards the unexpected, this closure might just add a few twists to your daily commute—a change you can thank an ailing underground for. DeKalb County's announcement didn't spell out the nitty-gritty, but a chunk of your road map is effectively on pause.
And for those seeking further enlightenment on this street-shutting ordeal? Reach out to A & S Paving's Stacey Wilson, the orchestrator behind the scenes, at 678-414-9653, or dial Tavarus Stokes, DeKalb’s Engineering Tech Senior, at 404-297-4563, for the ins, outs, and detours. It's worth noting these contacts are your lifeline—not just for a rant, but actual questions about the road closure—guidance when the GPS gives you that 'route recalculating' headache.
