- Cobb DOT is working with a contractor to design a repair to the section of the roadway that failed last night during heavy rains.
- A corrugated metal pipe that directed a stream under the road collapsed, causing Spring Hill Pkwy to cave in. Crews will monitor the roadway during the next day or two while engineering a solution and hope to start repair work by the end of the week.
- The work could take three to four weeks, possibly longer if weather interferes.
- There are detours available from the north and south in the meantime. Signs are being placed in the area to direct traffic. No homes or apartments are cut off.
