Cherokee County, GA – Drivers in the Towne Lake area are being advised to seek alternate routes today after a crash forced the closure of Rose Creek Drive near Grove Park Lane, causing traffic disruptions in a residential and commercial corridor.
According to the Cherokee Sheriff’s Office, Rose Creek Drive was shut down due to an accident reported late this morning. Authorities have not released details on injuries or the number of vehicles involved, but multiple emergency units were dispatched to the scene, including fire-rescue crews and sheriff’s deputies.
Photos shared by officials show emergency vehicles blocking both directions of the roadway while first responders worked along the tree-lined stretch of road. The closure affects access near Towne Lake Parkway and nearby neighborhoods and businesses, including shopping and service areas off Rose Creek Drive.
Motorists are urged to avoid the area if possible and plan for detours, as the road remains impassable while crews manage the scene and investigate the cause of the crash. No estimated reopening time has been announced.
Rose Creek Drive serves as a connector route for local traffic moving between Towne Lake Parkway and surrounding residential developments, meaning delays could impact midday commutes and local errands. Drivers traveling through the Towne Lake area may experience congestion on nearby side streets as traffic is rerouted.
Officials have not indicated whether citations will be issued or if weather or road conditions played a role in the incident. Updates are expected as the investigation continues and once the roadway is cleared.
Residents are encouraged to monitor official Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office updates for the latest information on road reopening and traffic conditions.
