Down power lines have caused authorities to close a stretch of Roswell Road in East Cobb, according to officials.
Commissioner JoAnn Birrell sent out an email alert to constituents at about 1:40 p.m. saying Roswell Road was closed in both directions between Timber Ridge Road and Bishop Lake Road.
The live traffic map from the county department of transportation says the closure will be in place until 5 p.m.
