Here’s a quick update on when everyone can expect a smoother surface on Ansley St. in Oakhurst:
An earlier blog post reported that the repaving of Ansley St. would take longer than originally expected due to an unexpected water leak. The good news is DeKalb County is almost finished with the installation of the new water main line, and repaving is expected to begin the first week of December (weather permitting, of course). Any questions about this process should be directed to John Madajewski at the Design, Environment and Construction Division, 404-370-4104.


The Derrydown Bridge is now open! Funded through the City of Decatur’s Sidewalk Improvement Program, this new bridge restores a key connection across Shoal Creek between Poplar Circle and Derrydown Way. Senior Engineer John Madajewski of the City’s Design, Environment & Construction Division managed the project and Ohmshiv Construction, LLC of Lawrenceville constructed the bridge, which cost approximately $79,000.
