Part of Buford Highway south of Beverly Hills Drive in Chamblee will be closed through Wednesday night for emergency repairs, officials said.

The road has severe erosion, Chamblee police spokesman Capt. Ernesto Ford said in an email Tuesday.

“This closure is expected to last for a minimum of 24 hours as repair crews begin their work,” Ford said.

Additionally, Buford Highway will close at some point to traffic at Beverly Hills Drive and Shallowford Terrace, he said.

Plan to use I-85 and Shallowford Road as alternate routes in the area.
