Northside Drive Remains Closed Due To Sinkhole, Water Main Break

SANDY SPRINGS, GA -- It could be another day before a portion of Northside Drive will reopen to traffic in Sandy Springs.

That's because the city said the Atlanta Department of Watershed Management crews continue to work on pipe repairs just south of Crest Valley Drive.

Emergency crews were originally dispatched to repair a sinkhole that formed Monday evening due to a water main break.

However, a snowball effect has taken place throughout Tuesday.

"Following the repair of the first leak, several others have occurred," the city said. "The road will remain closed while repairs are underway."

A detour has been posted at Harris Trail as well as Crest Valley Drive. Return to Patch for updates.
