UPDATE to the update: DeKalb County estimates it will take 30 days for its crew to finish upgrading the water system, weather permitting. Once that is done, final paving of Ansley St. will be completed.
The repaving of Ansley St. started on Monday, and as sometimes happens, an unexpected water leak issue developed. The city is currently working with DeKalb County to replace and upgrade the water system underneath Ansley St. before finishing the repaving process.
The good news is this means once everything is complete Ansley St. will have a new, smooth surface AND an upgraded water system. The only downside is Ansley St. will be torn up for a bit longer than anticipated. Once an updated work schedule is finalized we will share it here on this blog.

Thanks for the update! I can’t wait for the repaving to be done as, a full-time bike commuter and the Stone Mountain Path detour leads right onto Ansley Street, it is brutal cut through as it currently stands. BTW, who made the call to patch the water system work with cement chock full of rocks in lieu of smooth blacktop or cement?
