Keheley Road closed

A waterlogged intersection in Northeast Cobb that was closed last month after heavy rains is shut down again.

Cobb County’s communications office sent a message Thursday afternoon that Keheley Road is closed at Eula Drive for the time being, as another bout of rainy weather is slated to move out of the area.

The water from the rains is running over from a privately-owned late into the intersection.

It’s near Keheley Elementary School, but the closure isn’t affecting related traffic. However, the county’s message said the solution involves negotiating with the lake owner.

The message said the county will monitor water levels before reopening the intersection. Residents aren’t being cut off but some may have to use a detour.

Here’s what Cobb County was sharing around 1 p.m. Friday about the cleanup of roads and parks after the heavy rains the last couple days:

All Cobb parks have opened except Noonday Creek Park and some fields in Fullers Park that have experienced flooding issues.

Parks crews are clearing debris at East Cobb Park, Sandy Plains Park and others.

The only road that remains closed is Keheley Road, in northeast Cobb, north of Shallowford Road and at Eula Drive (in photo), because of water spilling over onto the road.

Cobb Police said late Thursday that that stretch of Keheley Road may be closed for a few days while cleanup continues.
