DeKalb County motorists should brace for a series of road closures that extend into early November, as infrastructure enhancements forge forward on the Columbia Woods/Toney Drive thoroughfares. According to an announcement by DeKalb County, significant upgrades necessitate traffic rerouting through Nov. 3.
The construction, aiming to improve sewer systems, impacts Toney Drive, Columbia Woods Drive, Glendale Drive, Saratoga Drive, and Thrasher Circle and detour signs will be posted to guide drivers around these areas but these detour plans might change if the weather decides to play its unpredictable hand. In a nod to keeping things somewhat normal in the midst of upheaval, the county promises detour signage to aid in navigation amidst the transformation of the local landscape; traffic flow contorts but life pulses on.
Residents in the surrounding neighborhoods can expect the rattling hum of progress from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., carving out their days Monday through Friday, and granting reprieve on major holidays. The DeKalb County advises an uptick in both noise and vehicular hustle associated with construction zones—wear earplugs, perhaps, and practice patience.
For those left with questions swirling like leaves in the autumn wind, or who need reassurance amid the clatter of change, resources are not amiss; one can dial into the DWM Project Information Line at 1-800-986-1108 or email concerns and curiosity directly to [email protected].
