Lane Closures Possible as Culvert Replaced to Fix Sinkhole, Flooding

The City of Dunwoody this week will begin work on a critical stormwater project on Delverton Drive, replacing a culvert that is causing a sinkhole, according to the city’s website.

This storm water project is located on Delverton Drive about 220 feet east of North Peachtree Road and 420 feet west of Delverton Court. The project work involves the replacement of a 60-inch corrugated metal pipe underneath Delverton Drive. The existing culvert is causing a sinkhole and other potential flooding issues.

Initial construction work is expected to begin later this week. As long as weather allows, tree removal, material staging and some excavation will begin Wednesday through Saturday of this week.

The city expects the possible lane closures on Delverton Drive this week to be limited.

The specific schedule will depend on the project’s progress, but during the project this portion of Delverton Drive will need to be completely closed for about two days. City officials anticipate this complete closure to be sometime next week and detours are available via Leisure Drive to North Peachtree Road and Redcliff Way to Happy Hollow Road.
