Road to Be Closed in the Whitehouse Area

WHITEHOUSE – Smith County Road 2191 will be closed for several weeks for improvements. The commissioner’s court has approved the temporary closure of the road, also known as Oscar Burkett Road, at the construction site of the new Brown Elementary School in Whitehouse. It could be closed up to four weeks to install storm and sanitary sewer lines 21 feet deep, as well as do necessary roadwork. The work will start as soon as the county can notify nearby residents and emergency services of the closure. Detour signs will be placed along Rhones Quarter Road and other connecting roadways, alerting drivers to use alternative routes.
