Heads up, Atlanta commuters: a chunk of Waverly Way NE is getting snipped off your grid for a hot minute. Starting whenever the crews get out there today, the stretch between Hurt Street NE and Elizabeth Street NE is a no-go zone. ATLDOT's rolling in to take down some troublesome trees, and they're not just knocking on wood—they're hauling it off.
While the whir and buzz of chainsaws might have locals feeling some type of way, the only traffic sneaking through will be the folks that call the closed-off slice home. If you're just passing through, well, tough luck—you'll need to find another way. According to the ATLDOT announcement, closure's the name of the game until all that leafy lumber's history.
Don't think you'll sidestep the slowdown by hoofing it, either. Sidewalks are part of this arboreal armageddon, staying off-limits until the last branch drops. But hey, you've got questions, maybe even a beef with the whole deal, ATLDOT's got ears—shoot them a note at [email protected] and they'll hash it out with you.
