Marion County Road 8060 closed for about 10 days due to a dangerous deterioration at the Jimmie’s Creek Bridge has reopened to traffic.

Judge John Massey said late Thursday the road reopened earlier in the day.

Last month, Massey said heavy rains had led to the closure and warned motorists to avoid the area.

However, in two postings to the Marion County Facebook late last week, it was noted barricades had been moved, with Massey and the county’s road foreman receiving reports of individuals crossing the bridge despite the warnings. It was noted those making the crossing were taking a huge chance the bridge could fall in.
