The City of Lumberton will close the State Route 13 segment between U.S. 11 and Front Street in Lamar County on Saturday, October 17, 2026. The Mississippi Department of Transportation lists the closure from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m. Central for the rescheduled LUMBERFEST event.
Local traffic should use another route and allow additional travel time, especially near the start and end of the festival. MDOT directs motorists to its traffic website or mobile app for current conditions and reminds drivers to remain alert around the closure.
The closure is limited to the announced 13-hour event period; the release does not describe a longer construction detour or a separate reopening process. Drivers should still confirm live conditions before traveling because traffic controls can change for safety or weather.
