The temporary closure of Smokey Road near Alto, set to last for two weeks beginning March 13, is over.

The road reopened and barriers were removed Friday, March 31.

Anderson Grading & Pipeline, through a contract with Lee Arrendale State Prison, replaced and installed new stormwater pipes, but that work got behind schedule due to weather.

Smokey Road was closed to through traffic between CM Wilbanks Road and Mt. Zion Church Road.
