Part of Natchez Trace Parkway Closed Two Weeks
Due to the recent heavy rains, an embankment has failed on the east side of the Parkway at milepost 245.8 requiring the Parkway to be closed in this area. A detour is in effect from 10 a.m. on Nov. 3,
2009, for approximately two weeks while repairs are being completed.
Northbound traffic will be rerouted at milepost 239.2 via MS Highway 32 east to MS Highway 41, then north back to the Parkway reentering at milepost 246.9.
Southbound traffic will be rerouted beginning at milepost 246.9 via MS Highway 41 south to MS Highway 32, then west back to the Parkway reentering at milepost 239.2.
Access to the Parkway at Davis Lake Road (County Road 413) will be closed. Parkway travelers are encouraged to take precautions through this area. Additional travel time should be less than 15 minutes.
