Road Closure: Brooks Road Collapses Into Water

Darren Doyle, story:
County road crews have closed a section of Brooks Road, which joins Union Light Road and Brier Creek Road, due to a collapse today.

The road is part of a FEMA-funded project that receives federal disaster money to repair; however, the road has collapsed into a section of a private lake before all the work was completed.
