Drivers in Brookhaven should prepare for traffic disruptions this week, as construction crews embark on the Clairmont Terrace Water Main Replacement Project. FOX 5 Atlanta reports that the work is scheduled to occur nightly from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. between Tanglewood Circle and Buford Highway, which is in close proximity to local landmarks like Kroger and McDonald's.

The project begins on Monday night, according to On Common Ground News, and will impact Clairmont Road till the end of the week, with work concluding Friday morning, during this period, motorists will still have access through at least one open lane, although they should expect some lane closures and shifts. Flaggers and signs will assist with navigation as local traffic adjusts to the construction schedule and any accompanying roadwork disruptions.

In addition to traffic advisories, DeKalb County officials have announced a planned water outage which "will take place on Wednesday, Aug. 20, from 7 p.m. to Thursday, Aug. 21 at 5 a.m.," according to On Common Ground News. Businesses and residents affected by the outage are set to receive advance notification to prepare for this temporary discontinuity in water service.
