Motorists navigating Pryor Road SW in Atlanta should expect a change in scenery and traffic patterns as the city moves forward with a resurfacing project. Citing an announcement from the Atlanta Department of Transportation (ATLDOT), lane shifts between Shaw Street SW and Ridge Avenue SW have been implemented to accommodate the construction activities. This development is now in effect and is expected to be operational from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, until the project is completed.
According to the ATLDOT advisory, drivers will still be able to use Pryor Road SW, although they will encounter single and double lane closures. While resurfacing work trudges forward, the lanes will remain open but shifted, which should keep vehicles moving despite reduced capacity. Residents should note that asphalt equipment may temporarily block driveways, but only intermittently.
Pedestrian access along sidewalks of Pryor Road SW will not be affected by these changes, ensuring that non-vehicular traffic can continue to utilize pathways without obstruction. To ensure safety and assist drivers through the modified traffic lanes, enforcement officers and flaggers will be present on-site.
For those with inquiries or concerns regarding the impact of the resurfacing project on their daily commute, ATLDOT has extended an open line of communication. Individuals can reach out to the department by emailing [email protected] for answers to any pressing questions or to address issues that may arise due to the ongoing work on Pryor Road SW.
