A 12-inch water main broke late Friday afternoon, causing part of the roadway to wash out. Work overnight found the damage was more extensive than initially thought, so an additional contractor has been brought in to assist with repairs.
Circle 75 Parkway will likely remain closed throughout the weekend. Drivers heading to Truist Park and the Battery Atlanta area should use Interstate North Parkway, Windy Ridge Parkway, and Cobb Parkway as alternates.
