🚧 TRAFFIC ADVISORY – SEWELL FERRY ROAD CLOSURE IN CEDAR BLUFF 🚧

The Cherokee County Emergency Management Agency would like to inform motorists of an upcoming road closure in the Town of Cedar Bluff.

Beginning Monday, October 26, 2026, the entrance to Sewell Ferry Road at Alabama Highway 9 will be closed as crews begin a paving project. Equipment and materials are scheduled to be moved into the area on Thursday, October 22, and Friday, October 23.

To maintain access for residents and motorists, the Town of Cedar Bluff has constructed a temporary access road between Piggly Wiggly and Dollar General on Alabama Highway 9. This route will provide access to Sewell Ferry Road and surrounding streets, including Hidden Cove Circle, Hidden Cove Lane, Hidden Cove Drive, River Point, Lakeside Lane, and North and South Quail Run Drive.

The project is expected to continue through late November, although an exact reopening date for the Sewell Ferry Road entrance has not been announced.

Motorists are encouraged to use caution in the area, follow posted detour signs, allow additional travel time, and remain alert for construction crews and equipment.
