Part Of Ponce To Close For Water Main Work

CLARKSTON, GA — A stretch of East Ponce de Leon Avenue in DeKalb County will be closed down next week as crews work to relocate a water main pipe.

On Tuesday, May 29, construction on the Clarkston Streetscape Water Main Relocation Project will begin at the intersection of East Ponce and North Indian Creek Drive in Clarkston. The project includes the installation of nearly 8,000 feet of new water pipe in the area.

Crews will be working overnight from 6 p.m.-6:30 a.m. During those times, all westbound lanes of East Ponce — from Jolley Avenue to North Indian Creek Drive — will be closed to traffic.

Westbound traffic on East Ponce will be directed onto Church Street at North Indian Creek. The detour will remain in place and the westbound lane closures will move eastward toward Market Street as the pipe installation progresses.

The nightly closures are expected to continue until work on the project is finished, which is expected to be in September.

Eastbound traffic on East Ponce will not be affected.
