Portions of Krog Street – including the Krog Street Tunnel – and DeKalb Avenue will be closed nighty starting Sept. 20 through December to fix drainage issues.
According to a press release from the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management, Krog Street will be closed between Edgewood Avenue and Wylie Street, while DeKalb Avenue will closed between Waddell Street and Cornelia Street.
The full road closure will take place from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. nightly, Sunday through Friday. There will be pedestrian access through the tunnel during the closures, according to a tweet from City Councilman Amir Farokhi.
Traffic control measures will be in place to guide motorists around the work zone. Motorists are urged to use caution when traveling near the work zone. Residents will continue to have access to mail and package delivery, emergency services and trash pick-up.
Contractors will install new stormwater inlets and pipeline to mitigate flooding as part of phase one of the Krog Street Tunnel stormwater project. The Krog Tunnel connecting Old Fourth Ward and Cabbagetown notoriously floods during heavy rain, often making it impassable.
