Cobb DOT has closed off a portion of a sidewalk and a shoulder on southbound East Piedmont Road due to a sinkhole.
Cobb government sent a message Monday evening that no traffic lanes have thus far been affected, but that work crews will be monitoring the site this week due to rainy weather in the forecast.
The sinkhole is located in front of the Sprayberry Square Shopping Center, just south of the intersection of Sandy Plains Road.
The problem was caused by a failed joint in a drainage pipe, and the Cobb message said repairs will start when the rain moves out.
There’s a 100 percent chance of rain Tuesday afternoon, followed by a 40 percent chance of rain Wednesday and a 100 percent chance again on Thursday before sunny weather returns later this week.
