We're celebrating a BIG WIN!! The PiHi Alliance has dedicated three years of working with Atlanta Department of Transportation and Department of Watershed to find a long term solution to the never ending potholes and flooding on Armour Drive at the underpass heading to Armour Yards. 

THIS WEEKEND: The first step will be completed!! * Weather Permitting!!

ARMOUR DRIVE CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE

FRIDAY, MARCH 24-SUNDAY, MARCH 26

9AM-6PM

Atlanta Department of Transportation will be in active construction THIS WEEKEND starting Friday March 24th @ 9am. ATLDOT will be removing the major potholes and replacing with large concrete patches on Armour Drive at the underpass before you enter the Armour-Ottley district where SweetWater Brewery is located.

• Traffic control will be present during the entire time as well as overnight to allow for the concrete to cure.
• One lane of traffic will be open at all times!!
• Rain Dates: Friday, March 31-Sunday, April 2, 2023

The Long Term Solution includes a confirmed concrete repaving of the Armour Drive underpass  into Armour-Ottley district as well as a storm water drain upgrade. READ MORE DETAILS HERE. 

We're thankful to Atlanta Department of Transportation's Deputy Commissioner, Allen Smith, and his crew for a site walk on March 8th. From this site walk we identified this first step to resolve a very frustrating and dangerous situation on Armour Drive for business owners, employees and customers of the Armour West district of Piedmont Heights.

THE MARCH 8TH SITE WALK WITH ATLDOT IDENTIFIED MAJOR ISSUES ON ARMOUR DRIVE. Here's what advocacy in action looks like!! 

TIRES SAVED FOR NOW: ATLDOT patched the major potholes leading from Armour Drive onto the southbound I-85 ramp.  It's a temporary fix due to that Georgia Department of Transportation owns the ramp and is responsible for it.  Waiting on an update.

BEYOND DANGEROUS!! ONGOING BROKEN DRAIN ON PLASTERS AVE NE that is constantly broken and left open was blocked off the same day by ATLDOT! Thank you to Tom Stokes of Epicity and Merritt Huber of Carolina Lumber for being eyes on the street and joining our walk to express your concerns on behalf of the entire community.
