Residents and commuters in Atlanta should prepare for a slight detour tomorrow. The Atlanta Department of Transportation (ATLDOT) announced that Howell Place SW will be closed temporarily from Peeples Street SW to Oak Street SW from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. The closure is necessary to allow for tree removal activities, as reported by ATLDOT on their website.

While the road will be off-limits to through traffic, local access will remain available during the hours of the closure. Trying to navigate around Howell Place, drivers should anticipate delays and are advised to plan their routes accordingly. Pedestrians will also be affected by the day's work; the sidewalks on Howell Place SW are set to stay closed for the duration of the tree removal process.
