    Downtown Atlanta Street Closures as of Sunday

    Decatur Metro | March 16, 2008

    I’m not sure if the city will update this list in time for rush hour traffic tomorrow morning, but here’s today’s listing of streets that are still closed due to tornado damage and part of a note from the city.

    Atlanta Police are urging motorists to use extreme caution when returning to work Monday morning as numerous traffic lights remain out of order, and city crews continue to clear debris from the areas affected by the severe weather on Friday and Saturday.
    The following streets remain closed to traffic as of noon today:

    Jesse Hill Boulevard from Coca Cola to Armstrong (wires down on Jesse Hill)
    Auburn Avenue from Fort Street to Jesse Hill
    Coca Cola Pl. from Jesse Hill to Pratt Street
    Boulevard from Gartrell to Memorial Drive (north and south)
    The area between Gartrell, Jackson, Todd and William Holmes Borders Sr. streets
    Park Place from Edgewood to Auburn streets
    Marietta Street from Peachtree to Fairlie (westbound only)
    Marietta Street – Park to Centennial Olympic Parkway
    Luckie Street from Spring Street to Centennial Olympic Parkway
    Peachtree Street from Marietta to Harris streets
    Andrew Young International Boulevard from Courtland to Spring streets
    Harris Street from Spring to Peachtree streets
    Spring Street from Marietta to Harris streets
    Nassau Street from Spring Street to Centennial Olympic Parkway
    Forsyth Street from Marietta to Walton streets

    There are still approximately 159 signal lights needing repairs. Drivers should treat these intersections as 4-way stops. Stop at the corner, and proceed one by one, giving the right-of-way to the driver on the right.

    I’m guessing that the city of Atlanta’s website will be the best source tomorrow morning if you’re checking to see if you need to alter your commute.  Might not be a bad idea just to take MARTA.

    Right now it looks like Marietta is still closed between Peachtree and Fairlie, which means I’ll have to figure something else out to get down into the heart of the wreckage.

    Should be interesting.  I’ll bring a camera.
