Briarcliff Road was shut down at about 5:30 a.m. at North Druid Hills Road, according to the SKYFOX Traffic Twitter feed. WSBradio.com recommended shortly before 7:30 a.m. to use Clairmont Road as an alternate.

A seperate gas leak shut down DeKalb Industrial Way near Scott Boulevard during rush hour Wednesday.
