East Cobb traffic alert: Temporary closure on Old Sewell Road

Old Sewell Road closure

Cobb DOT is reporting that drive-through traffic on Old Sewell Road between Holt Road and Lower Roswell Road will be unavailable for the time being.

That’s due to emergency drainage repairs that began Monday near the Holt Road intersection.Old Sewell Road closure

Local access on Old Sewell Road to Ashton Woods Drive and Weatherstone Parkway remains open.

Cobb government spokesman Ross Cavitt said the pipe below the Old Sewell-Holt intersection had separated “and other components had rusted out, resulting to damage to the sidewalks and roadway.  They are replacing the failed pipe and structure.”

An alert listed on the Cobb DOT Facebook page indiates a Feb. 4 reopening, but Cavitt said “they do not expect it to last much past 2-3 weeks” and possibly a little while after that due to the holidays.
