Water floods busy road in Buckhead

ATLANTA — Atlanta police are currently blocking several roads in Buckhead as water floods a busy street on the Fourth of July.

Officers blocked several intersections along Kingsboro Road NE in Atlanta’s Buckhead Heights neighborhood. Atlanta police officers told neighbors there appears to be a water main break, but 11Alive has reached out to the Atlanta Department of Watershed Management for more information.

This comes just over a month after large-scale water main breaks caused major problems in the city of Atlanta, prompting a boil water advisory for nearly a week and causing significant damage to nearby businesses. The water main breaks in late May and early June led to a state of emergency being declared in the city.

Atlanta police said there was no estimate of when the roads could reopen.

11Alive is working to find out more about what happened.
