UPDATE | According to a spokesperson for the city of Marietta, the road opened up around 1 p.m. on Friday. Roads were closed on Lawrence Street at Marietta Square due to a sewer line collapse.
"Marietta Water repaired the pipe overnight, and our Streets crew patched the road with asphalt yesterday morning," a Marietta spokesperson said.
ORIGINAL STORY | A sinkhole is forcing the closure of a busy downtown Marietta intersection for at least the next several days, police said.
Marietta Police are warning all drivers to avoid the intersection of Lawrence Street Northeast and Waddell Street Southeast as crews work to repair the sinkhole and make the roads safer over the course of the next few days.
It's just one block away from the highly-popular Marietta Square.
The intersection is centered in a highly-trafficked area of downtown Marietta that is the center of government and business operations. Four buildings line the intersection, including the Cobb County Clerk, Cobb County Juvenile Court, Cobb County Management and Budget, and Cobb County Planning Department buildings.
Here's a picture of the sinkhole itself:
It is just a block away from the Cobb County Courthouse and also has a parking garage located at the intersection.
Authorities did not give a clear estimate of when the intersection would re-open.
