Heads up, Atlanta commuters! The ATLDOT announced a road closure that's set to disrupt traffic on 12th Street NE today. According to official advisories, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., the section between Juniper Street NE and Piedmont Avenue NE is blocked off to cater to building maintenance at 1080 Juniper Street NE. Plan your detours accordingly, or you'll be caught in a tangle of midday traffic.
Detours are not a suggestion but a necessity as they've laid them out. Taking lefts onto 11th St NE from southbound Juniper St NE and onto 13th St NE from northbound Piedmont Ave NE will become the quick detour for those affected by the closure. Meanwhile, pedestrians on the south side of 12th Street NE will have to reroute, with sidewalks out of commission during these hours. ATLDOT has arranged for enforcement officers to be present, herding cars down alternative paths with the grace of urban shepherds.
For those of you who need more information or have concerns that you can't quiet down, reach out directly to the transportation department. Questions are encouraged by ATLDOT, with their team available via email at [email protected]. They hope providing direct contact will ease the potential headache today's closure might cause to the daily passerby.
