The County and local residents have reached an agreement on how to move forward with the re-paving of the 4 mile section of Old Natchez Trace including the bridge located between Temple Road and Moran Road. The movement started by Citizens for Old Natchez Trace was heard and the developers are taking measures to insure the least amount of disruption during the project.
Concerned residents released a list of wants which included “the road to be ‘paved in place.’ This means laying down asphalt in the existing roadbed from edge to edge.” Concerns for widening the road to the detriment of the landscape were also submitted. The final result is that the road will be uniformly paved and widening will only occur where the one-lane bridge is increased to allow two-way traffic. This is a win for everyone.
