CORDELE, Ga. (WALB) - Cypress Hill Road is currently closed to all traffic due to significant damage caused by severe storms earlier this morning.

The Crisp County Sheriff’s Office says a culvert beneath the road has been completely washed away, rendering the roadway impassable and unsafe

Crisp County Public Works, the Crisp County Sheriff’s Office, and Crisp County Emergency Management are on-site and working to develop a safe plan to access and assist residents living west of the washout. Until a safe route can be established, it is imperative that no one attempt to travel on this section of Cypress Hill Road.

Authorities urge motorists to avoid the area and seek alternate routes.

Further updates will be provided once a plan for reopening the road is finalized. Residents requiring assistance are asked to contact the Crisp County Sheriff’s Office.
