Attention, Atlanta drivers: If you're planning on traversing through the west side this week, expect a detour. The Atlanta Department of Transportation (ATLDOT) has announced that 17th Street NW, stretching from Northside Drive NW to Howell Mill Road NW, will be temporarily closed to through traffic. This roadblock, which commenced on Tuesday is due to utility maintenance activities and will last until tomorrow, according to an update from the ATLDOT website. Daily closures are taking place from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., a time slot aimed at minimizing the impact on rush-hour traffic.

Should motorists or pedestrians have any questions or concerns, the ATLDOT is open to dialogue. The department has provided a contact email, [email protected], for the public to reach out with their inquiries.
