Approaching storm closes Jocassee roads

Roads within the Timmerman Natural Resources Area at Jocassee Gorges in northern Oconee and Pickens are closing today in advance of the approaching winter storm. According to the DNR, those roads will remain closed until they are deemed safe to drive again. Mark Hall, land manager for the Jocassee Gorges, says the roads are being closed to prevent damage to them in the event of heavy snow and ice, and also for public safety.
