Fallen traffic light leaves Atlanta highway closed most of Saturday morning and repairs underway

Atlanta police were on scene Friday evening on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway at Hollywood Road after receiving reports of wires at the intersection.

When APD arrived, officers found dangling wires and a traffic light out and worked to keep traffic under control at the scene before repair work.

The City of Atlanta Department of Transportation confirmed the downed signal landed across the intersection and closed the road Saturday morning.

Repairs were underway and almost complete around 11 a.m.

A Channel 2 Action News Photographer was at the intersection Saturday morning as crews finished turning the traffic light back on and back online, ending a road closure in effect during the work.

ATLDOT has not yet provided a cause for the signal drop at the intersection. Channel 2 Action News requested more information and is awaiting a response.
