Mt. Vernon Road Closed This Weekend for Stormwater Project Construction

Mount Vernon Road will be closed this weekend between Dunwoody Village and Mount Vernon Way as the city begins work on a stormwater project.

The road closure began Friday at approximately 7 p.m. with the City’s contractors working around the clock to replace three deteriorating storm drain lines beneath Mount Vernon Road.

The road should be reopened before 5 a.m. Monday, July 15.

Residents and businesses whose sole access is from Mount Vernon Road will be allowed to access through the construction zone, with delays likely to occur.Β  All other traffic on Mount Vernon Road will be detoured via Chamblee Dunwoody Road, Womack Road and Vermack Road.

The city is requesting the citizens' patience as minor traffic delays may occur during the week of July 15 to allow for re-paving of the trenches created by this project, according to an announcement from the city.

These dates and times are subject to change pending weather conditions and any unforeseen conditions during construction.Β
