To Whom It May Concern: 

March 6, 2020 - County Road 4021 is open for traffic once again. Currently there are some barricades on the side of the road in the problem area. Travelers are asked to use caution in that area, the road is a little bit rough right now, and is not a full two lanes. Repair is expected for next week.

March 6, 2020 - A portion of CR 4021, two to three miles south of Timpson on SH 87, is closed due to a dam break. A newly established pond located in the woods off CR 4021 had a dam failure, which resulted in the flooding.
