Lula, Georgia — A traffic crash closed northbound lanes of Cornelia Highway in Lula, triggering detours and delays.
According to the Hall County Sheriff’s Office, Cornelia Highway (SR 365) northbound is closed just north of Athens Street in the Lula area following a traffic accident reported earlier Sunday.
Authorities said traffic is currently being detoured at Athens Street, and drivers traveling through the corridor should expect delays while crews respond to the scene.
The crash occurred along the busy SR 365 corridor, a primary route connecting Gainesville, Lula, and Northeast Georgia communities. The roadway closure affects drivers traveling northbound through the area, particularly commuters heading toward Banks County and Cornelia.
Officials have not released details about how many vehicles were involved or whether injuries were reported.
The Georgia State Patrol is investigating the crash and managing the incident response.
Local authorities are urging motorists to avoid the area if possible, use alternate routes, and follow posted detours while emergency crews and investigators work at the scene.
SR 365 is frequently used by students, service workers, and commuters traveling between Gainesville and surrounding communities, meaning closures can quickly create regional traffic backups during peak travel periods.
No estimated time has been announced for when the northbound lanes will reopen.
Drivers are encouraged to monitor updates from local authorities for the latest traffic information.
