Briarlake Road Closure Begins on Aug. 29

Construction to rehab sewer lines and manhole structures

On Aug. 29, a portion of Briarlake Road, between Briarcliff Road and Briarlake Trace Northeast, will be closed from Aug. 29 to Dec. 31, 2022, (barring any weather days), while crews work to upgrade the sewer line and several manhole structures.

The construction work requires a full road closure at the intersection of Briarcliff Road Northeast (400 feet) to Briarlake Trace, NE. The manhole located on Briarcliff Road adjacent to intersection requires a one-lane closure between intersecting streets of Circlewood Road and Echo Drive. 

Normal construction hours will be from 9 a.m. to 4 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. Construction crews will work diligently to minimize the length of impact to motorists.

The DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management has initiated this construction project to address the repair needs of approximately 100,000 linear feet of water pipe as a part of ongoing maintenance to improve water service countywide.
