ATLANTA — If you use the Krog Street Tunnel in northeast Atlanta, you’ll need to find another way to travel for the next few months.
The tunnel is closing next week so crews can start stormwater upgrades and improvements.
The goal is to prevent flooding, which is a constant problem for anyone who uses the tunnel.
The work will continue until December.
The tunnel will close from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. every day but Saturdays.
The city said one sidewalk will remain open and accessible to pedestrians throughout the project but could close during some periods, depending on the work being done.
