Residents and commuters in Atlanta should prepare to adjust their travel plans tomorrow. According to the Atlanta Department of Transportation (ATLDOT), a stretch of Wilbur Avenue SE from Flat Shoals Avenue SE to Memorial Drive SE will be closed to through traffic from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. tomorrow. The reason for this disruption is to safely allow crews to remove trees along the route.
The closure will mainly affect non-residential traffic, while local access will remain open during work hours. Travel times may be longer, so drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes. Pedestrians will also need to use different pathways, as sidewalks on Wilbur Avenue SE will be closed for the tree removal.
During this temporary road blockage, questions or concerns can be addressed by contacting the city's transportation department. Detailed information and contacts can be found by visiting their website. ATLDOT has encouraged affected residents to reach out directly to "[email protected]" for any immediate inquiries related to the closure.
