Motorists who rely on a segment of S.R. 20 in western Cherokee County and a portion of Interstate 575 should find an alternate route Tuesday and Wednesday.

That's because a film crew will be shooting along Knox Bridge Highway/S.R. 20 between where the state route intersects with Marietta Highway and Fields Chapel Road from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 26.

The Cherokee Sheriff's Office's Division of Emergency Management said traffic will be temporarily stopped sporadically for 10 to 15 minutes at different intervals throughout the day.

During the same time frame on Wednesday, crews will be filming along the southbound side of Interstate 575 between Exits 16 and 14.

Cherokee Sheriff's Office spokesperson Lt. Jay Baker said a rolling roadblock will take place just north of the filming site, but "the intent will be to keep traffic moving, but at a slower pace...only for a short period of time."

Deputies with the agency will be assisting with traffic control during filming. Motorists and residents alike are asked to plan their routes accordingly.
