Cherokee County, GA – Drivers in Cherokee County are facing delays this morning after Neese Road at Driftwood Lane was shut down due to an accident involving utility lines, according to the Cherokee Sheriff’s Office. The closure impacts commuters traveling between the Woodstock and Holly Springs areas and is expected to create minor detours during the mid-morning traffic window.
According to the sheriff’s office, deputies responded shortly after the crash and found utility lines damaged across the roadway, prompting an immediate shutdown for safety. Utility crews were called to assess the extent of the damage, though officials have not yet provided an estimated reopening time.
The sheriff’s office advised drivers to avoid the area if possible and seek alternate routes. Nearby roads—including Arnold Mill Road and West Wiley Bridge Road—may see increased congestion as commuters reroute.
No information has been released regarding injuries or how the crash occurred. The investigation is ongoing, and additional details are expected as crews continue clearing hazards and repairing the damaged infrastructure.
Residents in the area may also experience temporary utility disruptions depending on the extent of the line damage. Authorities urge drivers to use caution, especially as traffic increases throughout the morning.
