DeKalb County, GA — Construction of the Briarlake sewer improvement project is scheduled to begin on May 29. The county is hosting a community meeting to talk about the project at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 18, via Zoom.

Briarlake Road will be closed between Briarcliff Road and Briarlake Trace Northeast for about four months while crews work to upgrade the sewer line and several manhole structures, according to a press release. The work will require a full road closure between Briarcliff Road and Briarlake Trace Northeast. The manhole located on Briarcliff Road near the intersection with Briarlake Road will require a one-lane closure between Circlewood Road and Echo Drive.

Construction hours will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding major holidays. Residents and drivers in the area can expect an increase in construction-related noise and traffic during the work hours.
