DEKALB COUNTY, GA– Construction will begin on the Briarlake Sewer Rehabilitation Project on Sept. 26 and DeKalb  officials are inviting residents to a virtual meeting to learn more about the project. The community meeting will be held on Thursday, Sept. 15, 6:30 p.m, .via Zoom at https://dekalbcountyga.zoom.us/j/88633804904.

A portion of Briarlake Road, between Briarcliff Road and Briarlake Trace Northeast, will be closed for approximately three months, while crews work to upgrade the sewer line and several manhole structures.

The construction work requires a full road closure at the intersection of Briarcliff Road Northeast (400 feet) to Briarlake Trace NE. The manhole located on Briarcliff Road adjacent to intersection requires a one-lane closure between intersecting streets of Circlewood Road and Echo Drive. This project is expected to last approximately from Sept. 26 to December 2022, barring any weather delays.

Normal construction hours will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding major holidays. An increase in construction-related noise and traffic during work hours should be expected.
