Scott Mountain Road closed for pipe replacement; detour posted for passenger vehicles
Summary
County engineer announced a pipe replacement on Scott Mountain Road requiring a temporary closure starting at 8 a.m.; a detour via Johnny Williams Road will be posted but is unsuitable for large trucks.
The Choctaw County engineer told commissioners a pipe replacement on Scott Mountain Road will require closing the road starting at 8 a.m. tomorrow and is expected to run during daytime hours while crews replace the structure.
The closure affects the segment between Mount Nebo and Dyson Road. County staff will allow local traffic through in the morning but will close the road to complete work. A detour will route passenger vehicles via Johnny Williams Road; the engineer warned the detour is not suitable for large trucks because turns on Dyson Road are too sharp.
The engineer said local residents and law enforcement were notified and the closure was planned to run 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to minimize disruption. Commissioners described it as a short‑term inconvenience necessary to complete the repair.
Ending: The county engineer will manage the closure and detour and provide updates if the schedule changes.
