Mount Pisgah Road in Catoosa County will open for traffic at 2 p.m. today, marking the first time cars have been allowed across the culvert since it was washed out by September floods.
Catoosa County Manager Mike Helton said county workers would go back next week and lay a final layer of asphalt once the weather warms up, but the road is safe and passable.
“We don’t want to postpone it just to put asphalt down,” he said.
