Cherokee County, GA – Drivers in Cherokee County are facing delays as a key route of Bells Ferry Road undergoes temporary lane closures near the Little River bridge.
According to Cherokee County officials, the southbound lane of Bells Ferry Road will be closed Monday and Tuesday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day as utility crews relocate overhead fiber cables to newly installed poles. The work is part of ongoing infrastructure improvements aimed at enhancing communication reliability in the area.
The closure is expected to impact commuters traveling through the busy corridor, particularly during midday hours when traffic volumes typically increase. Officials are urging motorists to avoid the area if possible and to seek alternate routes to minimize congestion and delays.
Traffic control measures, including signage and flagging operations, are expected to be in place to guide drivers safely through the work zone. However, officials warn that backups may still occur, especially during peak travel periods.
Local authorities emphasize the importance of slowing down in construction zones and remaining alert for workers and changing traffic patterns. No official detour has been announced, but nearby roads may serve as alternate options depending on traffic conditions.
The project reflects continued efforts across Cherokee County to upgrade infrastructure and support growing demand for high-speed communications services.
Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead and allow extra travel time while the lane closure remains in effect through Tuesday afternoon.
