Woodstock, GA – Drivers in Cherokee County are facing delays this afternoon after a crash shut down Bells Ferry Road at Alex Street, according to the Cherokee Sheriff’s Office.
According to deputies, the roadway was closed roughly 20 minutes before the advisory was posted, and crews remain on scene managing traffic and clearing the wreck. Officials did not immediately release details on injuries or what led to the crash, but urged drivers to avoid the intersection until further notice.
The shutdown is affecting north–south travel between Woodstock and Town Lake, a busy corridor for school pickups, local businesses, and evening commute traffic. Drivers heading through the area should expect slowdowns on connecting residential roads as vehicles are diverted.
The Sheriff’s Office advised motorists to use Wooten Drive as an alternate route while emergency crews work to reopen the roadway. Additional updates are expected as responders assess the scene and remove damaged vehicles.
Local residents reported significant backup near nearby neighborhoods and retail centers, with some drivers noting extended delays approaching the intersection from both directions.
This is a developing situation, and authorities are asking drivers to remain patient and use caution when navigating surrounding streets.
