It’s traffic Sarah Leonard says has been put on pause because of the holiday. But once Christmas is over and construction equipment is moved back onto North Druid Hills Road, homeowners living in an adjacent neighborhood say it’ll be nearly impossible to enter and exit their neighborhood.
“It took me a little over an hour to get from the Greek Orthodox Church on Clairmont Road, to get to my house which is two miles,” Leonard said.
The construction is a part of the county’s watershed project to repair a leaking water main. Construction on the leak started in October. Drivers say this project has reduced North Druid Hills Road from four lanes to two.

“The construction is due to a water leak that’s been going on, North Druid Hills for two years, and last year it froze and caused half a dozen wrecks,” Leonard said.
Leonard says the county told homeowners it would provide resources to help homeowners get in and out of their neighborhoods.
“They were going to put somebody up there, but he doesn’t do anything. He’s on his phone,” Leonard said.
The county says they are aware of the homeowners’ complaints and are looking into this.
