A section of Business U.S. 441 (Ga. 105) in Cornelia was temporarily closed Monday afternoon due to a natural gas leak, according to the Habersham County Sheriff’s Office.
The closure affected the stretch of roadway between Walmart and Dairy Queen, prompting authorities to urge motorists to seek alternate routes while crews addressed the issue.
At approximately 4:15 p.m., the Sheriff’s Office provided an update confirming that the gas had been shut off and the roadway was reopened to traffic.
No injuries were reported, and officials did not indicate how long the leak had been active before the closure.
Drivers are encouraged to remain alert in the area as normal traffic patterns resume.
Habersham News will provide updates if additional information becomes available.
