The details
An old terra cotta sanitary sewer collapsed on East Howard Avenue this afternoon during construction of the downtown Decatur storm drainage improvements. This required closing the short section of East Howard Avenue between North Candler and East Trinity Place.
How to manage
Westbound traffic on East Howard headed for North McDonough Street will need to detour around this area until repairs are completed. Presently, the detour runs north on North Candler from East Howard to Sycamore Street.
