Effective immediately, both lanes of Woolworth Road immediately south of Buncombe Road are closed to thru traffic due to a significant washout under a bridge.
The closure is necessary to ensure the safety of our citizens, as the washout has severely compromised the structural integrity of the bridge and must be addressed immediately. City engineers and safety inspectors are currently assessing the situation, and repairs will begin as soon as possible.
At this time, we are unable to provide an estimated reopening date, but the city will keep the public updated as more information becomes available.
Drivers are advised to seek alternate routes. Walnut Hill Middle School and Woolworth Landfill must be accessed by Colquitt Road.
The city encourages residents to stay informed by following official channels for updates on road conditions and progress on the repairs.
For further information, please contact Gary Norman, the Director of Public Works Department at 318-673-6123.
