Cherokee County, GA – Drivers in Cherokee County are facing major delays today after authorities reported a complete blockage on eastbound Cumming Highway (GA-20) following an accident.
According to the Cherokee Sheriff’s Office, eastbound lanes of Cumming Highway were blocked due to a traffic crash reported earlier today. Officials did not immediately release details on injuries or the number of vehicles involved, but the closure is impacting a key east–west corridor used by commuters traveling through the north metro Atlanta area.
Cumming Highway, also known as GA-20, connects Canton to surrounding communities and serves as a major route toward Forsyth County. With eastbound lanes blocked, motorists should expect backups, especially during peak travel hours, and consider alternate routes until the roadway is cleared.
As of the latest update, no estimated time for reopening has been announced. Deputies and emergency crews were reported on scene working the incident and managing traffic. Drivers are urged to slow down near the area, follow directions from law enforcement, and avoid the roadway if possible.
Local commuters traveling through Cherokee County, particularly near Canton and surrounding areas, may want to reroute using parallel roads or delay travel if feasible. Navigation apps may not immediately reflect the closure, so drivers are encouraged to use caution and monitor official updates.
Authorities are expected to provide additional information as the situation develops.
