ATLANTA, GA — Two lanes of Peachtree Street in Midtown are closed Friday as crews work on what appears to be a water main leak.
The westbound lanes are closed between 8th Street and Peachtree Place. City officials say the work should be completed by 5 p.m. Friday, but one lane will remain closed until Tuesday to protect the work site.
Traffic-control measures will be in place to guide drivers around the works zone, but motorists are urged to use caution and avoid the area if possible.
