Camden County Landslide Closes Road

A section of the road leading to Ozark Isles off of Lake Road 54-82 near Camdenton is closed due to a landslide. Camden County Second District Commissioner Don Williams says that Camden County Road and Bridge have the road shut down to assess the damage. A detour has been set up which will take you down Summit Ridge Drive. This area is EXTREMELY unstable and still moving. On top of plummeting rocks and snapping trees, the nearby sewage treatment plant is another concern to officials and residents, It sits just a few yards away. Crews and utility providers have inspected the area and are plotting their next steps.

The Camden County Road and Bridge Department said it will have engineers out today to start piecing together a plan and look into the cause.
