ATLANTA – March 6, 2019

The Tech Square Microgrid, which was approved by the Georgia Public Service Commission and will begin operating this fall, will be used to evaluate how a microgrid can effectively integrate into and operate as part of the overall electrical grid. Additionally, it will serve as a living laboratory for Georgia Tech professors and students who will use the asset to gather data on controllers, cybersecurity devices and energy economics.

Overnight Lane Closures on SR 154/Memorial Drive Start This Weekend

WHAT: Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) contractors will install single lane closures on SR 154/Memorial Drive between Pearl Street in Atlanta and SR 155/Candler Road in DeKalb County as crews work to lower manholes and water valves in the project area. This work is to prepare the corridor for paving, restriping and removal of the existing reversible lanes. Crews will work on several manholes in an area along the corridor, and shift the closure as the work location shifts. 

WHEN: Weather permitting, each night beginning Sunday, March 3 for approximately two weeks, 8:00 p.m. through 5:00 a.m.

WHERE: Weather permitting, each night beginning Sunday, March 3 for approximately two weeks, 8:00 p.m. through 5:00 a.m.

ADVISORY: Dates may change due to weather or other factors. Motorists are advised to expect delays, exercise caution, and reduce their speed while traveling through work zones. Before heading out, get real-time information on work status and traffic conditions. Call 511, visit 511ga.org, or download the Georgia 511 app.
