PUMPKIN CENTER—Tangipahoa Parish President Robby Miller announces today that a portion of Happywoods Road will be closed Monday morning for emergency Entergy repairs. 

Miller said Happywoods Road between E. Adams Road and Hoffman Road will be closed Monday, March 2, starting at 8 a.m. so Entergy crews can remove a tree that is growing too close to the power line. 

Entergy estimates the work will take approximately four hours and that portion of the roadway will be closed to all traffic during that time. 

For updates on local road conditions and road closure notices, consult the Tangipahoa Parish Government website (www.Tangipahoa.org) and the TPG social media channels.
