According to the Dickson County Sheriff’s Office, Highway 48 South is closed past North Mt. Sinai Road due to multiple vehicles leaving the roadway and a semi-truck blocking traffic. The closure affects southbound travel and is causing significant disruptions for motorists using the route.
Officials have not yet released details on injuries or how long the roadway is expected to remain closed. Emergency responders are actively working the scene, and traffic is being diverted away from the affected area.
Highway 48 is a key connector for residents traveling between Dickson County and surrounding rural communities, as well as commuters heading toward the greater Nashville metro area. Drivers should plan for alternate routes and expect delays if traveling nearby.
