Brick Plaza Near Underground Atlanta Dropping

While no one was injured, local officials are reporting that a brick plaza close to Underground Atlanta started sinking only minutes after the Peach Drop on New Year's Eve. The plaza has continued to sink since that time, according to officials.

The gap began to form in the brick plaza just a few feet from Peachtree Street and directly on top of one of MARTA's busiest train stations.

City maintenance inspectors constituted a preliminary assessment of the area Monday morning and determined it would be best to keep barricades around the area until a full analysis of the area is completed.

Officials added that the area impacted is relatively small and visitors can still access Underground Atlanta.
