The proposed location of the new 48” north storm line has slowed construction somewhat due to utility conflicts and the line’s proximity to existing construction. A leaking water line in Church Street created a cavity and a sinkhole last week as well. This was repaired by DeKalb County. Once these issues are resolved, the contractor will continue laying new storm pipe and setting a new manhole for the north storm line.
The photo below shows a type of storm drainage facility that you don’t see too often – a hand-built, double-wall brick culvert. This is an indication of the age of the system being replaced.
Traffic control measures will remain in place on North McDonough Street, so expect traffic delays.
