Cherokee County, GA – Drivers in the Hickory Flat area are being advised to avoid Darby Road this morning after officials closed the roadway due to low-hanging cable lines blocking both lanes.
According to the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office, the closure is the result of cable lines sagging dangerously low across the road. Xfinity technicians are currently on the scene working to repair the issue and estimate it could take at least two hours before the roadway reopens.
Traffic cones and barricades have been set up to prevent drivers from entering the affected stretch of Darby Road. Motorists are urged to use alternate routes until the work is complete.
No injuries or property damage have been reported at this time. The sheriff’s office has not released an exact reopening time but says updates will be provided as crews make progress.
Residents in the area should expect brief internet and service disruptions while the repairs are underway.
