Malone Drive Closure to Begin July 20

DECATUR, Ga.—On Monday, July 20, Malone Drive will be closed for construction from Peachtree Industrial Boulevard (SR 141) and a detour will be in place.

Local traffic will have access to Malone Drive from Peachtree Road from July 20 until Sept. 18. The work zone will be barricaded and closed as shown on the attached detour map. All homes and businesses will remain accessible during the closure. The detour will remain in effect from July 20 to Sept. 18. Residents are urged to plan ahead for possible traffic congestion and delays. 

The DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management has initiated this construction project as a part of ongoing maintenance to repair approximately 100,000 linear feet of sewer pipe to improve sewer service county-wide.

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