ATLANTA — An overnight fire at Cheshire Bridge Road has blocked off roads in the area.

The call came to Atlanta police and fire departments at Cheshire Bridge and Faulkner Road at around 1 a.m.

Crews responded to reports of black smoke and fire coming from underneath the bridge.

As of around 4 a.m., the fire had been contained but police are still on the scene blocking off the road.

There is no timetable for when the bridge will reopen.

Battalion Chief Matt Driver tells 95.5 WSB they’re not sure of the cause yet, but it’s possible someone set the fire while trying to stay warm.

Alternate routes include Piedmont Road, Lavista Road and Lenox Road.

Previously, a nearby bridge had been closed down for more than a year and a half after a massive fire.

This fire was right near the previous one.
