A tree fell across John R. Junkin Drive near the Duncan Park golf course Thursday afternoon blocking westbound lanes of traffic. For approximately an hour, Natchez police officers rerouted traffic, turning the road’s two eastbound lanes into two one-way lanes running in either direction, until Natchez Public Works crews could clear the road.
