Heads up to commuters and residents in Atlanta – there’s a temporary road blockage scheduled for today that might just sway your travel plans. The Atlanta Department of Transportation (ATLDOT) announced a closure on Beechwood Drive NW, from Mt. Paran Road NW to Beechwood Hills Court NW, to facilitate the removal of trees from the area. This will run from the morning hours of 9:00 a.m. through the afternoon at 4:00 p.m., according to information posted on ATLDOT’s advisory page.
The stretch of road facing the closure will primarily impact through traffic as access is restricted to those local to the neighborhood, which might cause some minor detours for the average commuter and fret not, the city has ensured that foot traffic will also be hindered during the operation, because sidewalks along Beechwood Drive NW will be off-limits and remain closed until the tree removal is complete.
For those with questions or seeking more specifics about the road closure or how it may affect your day, ATLDOT encourages reaching out via email at [email protected]. The road closure and tree removal activities may be an inconvenience for some, but ensuring the safety of residents and the structural integrity of our roads is a job that cannot be overlooked.
