On Thursday, two separate gas leaks in DeKalb County caused significant traffic disruptions and blocked access to local businesses. The first leak occurred in Avondale Estates near North Avondale Road and Pine Street, leading to the evacuation of several nearby businesses, including My Parents Basement, which temporarily closed its kitchen. The second leak was reported in Brookhaven around 3:15 p.m., closing Dresden Drive and exacerbating traffic issues in the area until both leaks were resolved and roads reopened by 7 p.m.
