City officials have closed the busy bridge at Howell Mill Road and 14th Street to investigate the cause of a "road sinkage." And there's no telling when they'll re-open the intersection.
If you take the route home or are planning to visit the area, city officials are advising motorists to use Northside Drive and 17th Street to avoid the scene. They've recommended people use the following detour options:
Option 1: [Southbound] on Howell Mill, turn left on 17th Street, right on Northside Drive, right on 14th Street, left on Howell MillOption 2: [Southbound] on Howell Mill, right on Huff Road, left on Marietta Boulevard, left on W Marietta Street, right on Howell Mill
[Northbound] on Howell Mill, right on 14th, left on Northside Drive, left on 17th Street, right on Howell Mill
Drivers attempting to turn right onto Howell Mill from 14th Street: Left on Howell Mill, left on 10th, left on Northside Drive, left on 17th and right on Howell Mill
Pedestrian traffic only allowed on west side of the street.
Huff Road is open to traffic. Access is allowed for local traffic only, businesses between Howell Mill and Huff Road.
