Beginning Monday, June 1, Myra Myrtis Road at Big Branch in northern Caddo Parish will close to allow the Caddo Parish Department of Public Works to conduct tree removal in the area.

Motorists are asked to use Wynn School Road and Hosston Rodessa Road as detour routes.

The closure is expected to remain in place for approximately three weeks.

Officials said the tree removal work is part of preparations for a larger project planned later this year.
