UPDATE: All lanes reopen on I-75NB in Cobb after partial sign structure collapse

An interstate sign support structure was hit by a vehicle Wednesday along I-75 N in Cobb County. (@511Georgia)

COBB COUNTY, Ga. — All lanes of traffic on I-75 northbound in Cobb County were finally reopened just before 8 p.m. Wednesday night, after a road sign and its support beam partially collapsed over the interstate late afternoon.

The incident happened around 4:45 p.m. near the Canton Road exit. Since then, all northbound lanes have been closed. What appeared to be a dump truck traveling southbound that hit the base of the sign structure caused the accident.

Marietta Fire Department officials tell WSB Radio there were no injuries, except for “very minor injuries” to the driver of the dump truck.

Just after 7 p.m., there was some progress as the sign structure beam was moved off to the side, leading to all lanes of traffic flow restored an hour later.
