Flooding Closes Sandy Springs Intersection

SANDY SPRINGS, GA -- Persistent downpours have forced the city of Sandy Springs to close a key intersection on the southern tip of the city.

Windsor Parkway is closed at Northland Drive due to Nancy Creek overflowing its banks, the city said Wednesday morning on its Facebook page. The city has also closed Windsor Parkway at Peachtree Dunwoody Road due to flooding.

"Once water recedes, we will need to check on structural integrity of the road before reopening, so expect the closure to be in place for several hours," city spokesperson Sharon Kraun said.

In the panhandle portion of the city, Sandy Springs added "significant roadway flooding" was also reported at River Exchange Drive at Spalding Drive in the Crooked Creek area (SIGN UP: Get Patch's Daily Newsletter and Real Time News Alerts. Or, if you have an iPhone, download the free Patch app).

Trees and power lines were also reported to be down along Riverside Parkway and north of Chastain Park on Dudley Lane, Sandy Springs added. Fortunately, the tree along Dudley Lane has since been removed and the road has reopened.
