Debris including fallen trees and tree limbs from Friday’s high winds forced the DeKalb County Highway Department to spring into action over the weekend.

“From Friday into Friday night and through about 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning we cleaned out 32 roads and got them to where people could get in and out,” said Road Supervisor Danny Hale. “We went back out on two more roads Saturday morning and we have been out this morning (Monday) cleaning up the sides of the roads from where we just cleared the roadways,”

“We ask for the public to please be aware of our workers this week as we will have some roads blocked cleaning up debris. Sorry for any inconvenience and thank you ahead of time for your patience,” said Road Supervisor Hale.

Meanwhile, starting March 20, Lower Helton Road on the Hickman Road end will be closed to through traffic due to a bridge replacement
