COBB COUNTY, Ga. — People driving near The Battery this weekend should expect a little more traffic as a busy street remains partially closed this weekend.
Cobb County Water crews have shut down the southbound lanes of Circle 75 Parkway after tending to a water main break Friday night. The roadway, which is between Windy Hill Road and Herodian Way, is a popular access route to Truist Park and The Battery Atlanta. The road is just north of the ballpark.
A 12-inch water main broke late Friday afternoon, causing part of the roadway to wash out. Overnight, officials found that the damage was much worse than initially thought so crews have called in an additional contractor to help with repairs.
Circle 75 Parkway is expected to be closed through Sunday. Drivers heading to Truist Park and The Battery are advised to use Interstate North Parkway, Windy Ridge Parkway, and Cobb Parkway as alternates. Transportation officials are also working to create detours.
It's unclear if the main break has impacted service in the area. It's not impacting the stadium or The Battery.
