Erosion control silt fencing installation also gets underway in second phase

The DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management (DWM) announces that beginning on Monday, November 6 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. another section of Rockbridge Road between Stone Mountain-Lithonia Road and South Hairston Road will be restricted to a single-lane of traffic. 

Work crews are beginning the second section of construction to replace an aging water main.  The water main replacement project is being completed in four phases and is part of DeKalb County’s Capital Improvement Program.

Motorists and MARTA passengers that use Rockbridge Road are urged to add extra time to their daily commute. Single-lane closures will occur in this area until spring 2018.

Lane closure signs will be in the area alerting motorists to the construction work and local traffic restrictions. Single-lane closures will occur daily along Rockbridge Road between South Deshon Road and Memorial Drive throughout DWM's 20-month water main replacement project. Please use caution when approaching and driving through the construction zone.
