A La Follette Public Works crew is clearing a tree on South 13th Street at Hill Top Drive forcing a temporary road closure on Monday morning.

LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF) – South 13th Street between West Kentucky Avenue and Hill Top Drive is closed for the next three, maybe four, hours as a crew with the La Follette Street Department clears a large tree out of the road.

Public Works Director Casey Boshears said, “This large oak tree was damaged a few weeks ago during that big storm, and it landed in another tree.  The way we’ve had to cut it to get it out of the way, it’s down on the street.”

Boshears notes that mowing of the median on the four lane is taking place today and the next couple of days, weather permitting.  (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED – 08/31/2020-9AM)
