Buford Highway Emergency Sewer Line Replacement Project Begins March 21

Construction to replace 60 linear foot of 8-inch sewer line

Efforts to improve water service capacity throughout DeKalb County continues on Monday, March 21, with the launch of the Buford Highway Emergency Sewer Line Replacement Project. Crews will replace 60 linear feet of failing sewer line with new 8-inch ductile-iron pipe along Buford Highway. This line repair project is expected to last approximately two weeks, from March 21 to April ), barring any weather delays.

Normal construction hours will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding major holidays. An increase in construction-related noise and traffic during work hours should be expected.

Motorists should expect delays stemming from the lane closure. Lane closure signs and traffic flaggers will assist motorists in moving safely around the lane closure. Our construction crews will work diligently to minimize the length of impact to motorists.
