A tree is currently blocking traffic on Highway 46 West in Candler County. Deputies are managing the scene while Public Works crews are en route to clear the road.
Why It Matters: Debris from Hurricane Helene continues to pose risks. Falling branches and unstable trees, commonly referred to as “hangers” or “leaners,” remain a concern in the aftermath of the storm.
Safety Reminder:
• Stay alert for additional falling debris.
• Exercise caution when driving, especially in areas with dense tree cover.
What’s Next: Public Works crews will work to remove the obstruction and reopen the roadway as quickly as possible. Travelers should anticipate potential delays and seek alternate routes if necessary.
