Drivers on I-75 South faced early morning delays Thursday due to a crash near Alabama Road involving a tractor-trailer. One left lane is blocked at mile marker 275, causing traffic to back up as the morning commute picks up speed.

Just the Facts:

• A crash occurred on I-75 South past Woodstock Road near Alabama Road (mile marker 275) in Cherokee County.

• The left lane remains blocked, and traffic in the area is moving slowly as a result.

• Drivers are encouraged to seek alternate routes to avoid delays.

The Details: The Georgia Department of Transportation reported the crash just before dawn, warning commuters of significant delays along this section of I-75 South. The left lane blockage has already led to heavy congestion as cars stack up behind the accident site.

In Context: I-75 is a major corridor for commuters in Cherokee County and beyond, and even a single lane closure during peak hours can lead to major delays.

How You Can Help: If you’re traveling through this area this morning, consider using alternate routes, like U.S. Highway 41, to avoid the congestion on I-75. Stay updated on travel conditions with local traffic alerts, and allow for extra time if you need to pass through the area.
