Work crews to close streets in Decatur for water main repairs starting Sunday, expect traffic, noise

DECATUR, Ga. — Starting Sunday night, DeKalb County officials said residents can expect some noise and traffic impacts as work crews begin repairs on a damaged water main in Decatur.

“An increase in construction-related noise and traffic during work hours should be expected,” according to DeKalb County Watershed Management.

From Sunday to Tuesday from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m., work crews will be performing night repairs on a 30-inch Ductile Iron Pipe water main that is part of the Scott Boulevard Water Main Replacement Project Phase II.

Officials said there will be lane closures in the following locations:

• DeKalb Industrial Way between North Arcadia Avenue and East Ponce de Leon Avenue.
• East Ponce de Leon Avenue between Grove Place and DeKalb Industrial Way.

The repair work beginning Sunday will be a full replacement of the 30-inch pipe and county officials said closure and detour signs have already been placed in advance of the work.
