Todd George Parkway from Colbern Road to Woods Chapel Road is now open to traffic. A section of Strother Road east of the I-470 interchange is also now open to traffic.

***UPDATE*** Scherer Road is now open.

Scherer Road between Pryor and Ward roads is expected to re-open by 5 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 25. The roadway was closed on Wednesday, Aug. 23, due to a pavement collapse.

Scherer Road between Pryor and Ward Roads is closed until further notice due to a roadway collapse. Crews are on site to evaluate and initiate repairs. It is unknown at this time when the roadway will reopen.

On Friday, Aug. 18, the traffic signal at SW Ward Road and SW Scherer Road was severely damaged. Northbound SW Ward Road has been temporarily closed between SW Scherer Road and SW Winthrop Drive. The northbound closure will remain in place until the site is safely secured and either temporary restoration of the traffic signal or temporary two-way stop control can be established.
