Beech Drive at Memorial Drive

DECATUR, Ga. – Beech Drive at Memorial Drive is closed due to damage to a 36-inch water main which has caused a large cave-in at the intersection of the two roads.

Contractors installing fiber optic cables apparently damaged the water main Tuesday night.

Road closure signs are posted on Beech Drive and traffic cones are blocking the right turning lane on Memorial Drive at the intersection. Department of Watershed crew members will be on hand throughout the night to ensure safety around the site.

Due to the extent of the repair, Beech Drive is expected to be closed to through-traffic for a few days.

Any questions regarding this road closure should be addressed to the Department of Watershed Management at (770) 270-6243.
