“Even if it is reopened or only repaired, this bridge will continue to be a top priority for replacement for Districts 9 and 8, as it is over 100 years old and has had a number of issues over the years,” Hillis said.
Channel 2 Action News has reached out to Atlanta Department of Watershed Management for further details.
The area is no stranger to water main issues. Channel 2 Action News reported on a water main break in the area back in 2012.
