Pontotoc County District 2 Commissioner Danny Davis said it is a good thing because it could easily be the most dangerous stretch of road in the county.

Rodtky Creek Bridge, commonly mistaken for Rocky Creek Bridge, has total of 900 to a 1,000 cars pass over it everyday, and Davis said for a rural road, that is a lot.

"People just travel too fast down this road as it is," Davis said. "There has been about seven or eight people killed here that I know of since the late 1970s and dozens of wrecks." FULL ARTICLE & WATCH VIDEO
