Walker County drivers should be aware of a new traffic change beginning next week. Osburn Road, from Myers Street to Highway 27, will be closed to through traffic starting Monday, November 24th, as crews begin utility work in the area.

Motorists will need to use Myers Street and Wilder Road as the designated detour routes to reach Highway 27. Officials say the closure is expected to remain in place for several weeks, and drivers should plan extra time for travel.

The update comes from Joe Legge, Director of Communications and Community Development.
