ATLANTA — The City of Atlanta’s Department of Transportation sent a reminder Tuesday about a road closure on a portion of West Peachtree Street NE and 11th Street NE in Midtown as crews continue to repair the water main.
Officials said West Peachtree Street NE is still closed from north of 10th Street NE to 12th Street NE.
ATL DOT wants to remind drivers and pedestrians that this portion of the road will remain closed until the repair is complete. Officials advise bikers and pedestrians to stay clear of the construction area between 10th Street NE and 12th Street NE.
Atlanta city officials said the broken water main at 11th Street and West Peachtree has been replaced. It was nearly 100 years old!
Department of Watershed Commissioner Al Wiggins said the pipe connected to the fire hydrant, directly adjacent to the Eleventh Street Pub.
"We're finishing the last stages of the project," Wiggins added.
