CHEROKEE COUNTY, Ga. — A wreck has closed all lanes on I-575 North in Cherokee County on Thursday evening.
The wreck happened just south of Sixes Road near the Wellstar Cherokee Health Park. Traffic was being diverted off the interstate at the exit there. Traffic further back is being diverted at Ridgewalk Parkway.
Traffic cameras showed several police and first responder vehicles on scene. It was not clear if there were injuries associated with the wreck.
"No estimated time of clearance has been provided," a Georgia Department of Transportation alert said. "All motorists traveling northbound are strongly encouraged to use alternate routes to avoid extreme delays."
Those exiting at Ridgewalk Parkway can go east to Main Street, and take that north up into Holly Springs, where it turns into Holly Springs Parkway. You can then proceed back onto I-575.
Anyone getting off at Sixes Road can similarly go east to Main Street.
If you're headed to Canton and want to avoid the likely Main Street congestion, you can take a longer route, heading west off Ridgewalk Parkway to Bells Ferry Road, going north until it turns into Marietta Road, taking it all the way into downtown Canton.
You could also go until Marietta Road meets Route 140, and then take that back to I-575.
