Lane closure in Gwinnett County as crews tackle cleanup of fire log-covered highway

It happened on Highway 316 at Hurricane Trail in the westbound lanes.

DACULA, Ga. — Crews are cleaning up after a tractor-trailer crashed, leaving boxes of fire logs all over the highway in Gwinnett County on Tuesday, according to the Georgia Department of Transportation. 

GDOT said crews responded just before 6 a.m. to a crash on Georgia Route 316 in the westbound lanes at Hurricane Trail. It expects to have the area cleared by 8 a.m., which has been extended to 9 a.m.

Officials have not said what led to the crash but have one lane of two blocked while crews clean up roads. GDOT cameras show the back part of the truck's trailer is nearly cut all the way through. 

11Alive Traffic Expert Crash Clark said even though it may be a bit more south, use Sugarloaf Parkway as an alternate.
