I suppose you could cut through Union Hill Rd and take 36 over to 231 as well. That detour is going to slow down a lot of people.

That seems to be the detour of choice for Arab people. I give major kudos to Morgan Co. Sherrif department for keeping people updated, and working these areas hard. My youngest goes to Union Hill and that 4-way stop was already a nightmare in the mornings... now add in a couple thousand people taking a detour. So far no issues hope it stays that way. They also dropped a little hint this morning on Facebook .... 6 months (or longer) to fix this issue that the state has known about for a year.

6 Months. Wow that is a major problem. I wonder if they will provide any details at what actually caused the roadways to tear apart like that? Mother Nature is a beast. Don't try and hide it ALDOT, just be real with us and tell us what happened.

Jackson, MS flooded overnight and is expected to continue to flood the next couple of days. It’s a major issue in the city. Worst flood since 1983.

The flooding we're seeing is historic. The Tombigbee and Black Warrior are flooding small communities and washing out roads.

Oh, and we're gonna have another 1-2 inches this week.
