Tunnel repairs and maintenance occurring across city

A contractor for Peachtree City will be visiting various tunnels around the city to perform some needed maintenance and repairs.  

The repairs involve mostly sealing cracks in the concrete tunnels. The contractor starts their work November 16, 2022. We expect this work to be completed within approximately 3 to 4 weeks.  

The tunnels will not need to be closed. There should be enough room for our contractor to work around the carts.  

Please use caution in these areas.
