ATLANTA — An Atlanta tunnel and walkway known for its colorful canvas of graffiti artwork, tributes and political messages is closing down temporarily for construction.
Krog Street Tunnel, a passageway that links the northeast Atlanta communities of Cabbagetown, Reynoldstown and Inman Park on the Eastside Trail of the BeltLine, will be closed to cars for two weeks for construction related to the Krog Street Stormwater Project.
The road will be closed to traffic from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday through Friday from Feb. 27 through March 12. The roads will reopen on the weekends, and sidewalk access will remain open to pedestrians throughout the duration of the project.
