Lakeland, TN – Drivers in the Lakeland area should prepare for delays this week as two separate road impacts go into effect, beginning with a full closure on Seedtick Road Monday morning.
According to the City of Lakeland Law Enforcement Services and the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, Seedtick Road will be closed starting Monday, November 24, at 8 a.m. and will remain closed through Wednesday, November 26, at 5 p.m. Local authorities did not detail the specific cause for the closure but advised motorists to plan alternate routes during the three-day shutdown.
Residents and commuters using the area can expect increased traffic on surrounding streets as drivers navigate detours. Officials urge anyone traveling through Lakeland, Shelby County, and the greater Memphis metro area to allow extra travel time during the morning and evening rush periods.
A second disruption begins next week. According to officials, Shady Village Lane will be reduced to a single lane beginning Monday, December 1. Traffic safety crews will be on-site directing vehicles through the narrowed stretch, and signs will be posted to guide drivers. The one-lane configuration is expected to remain in place until Wednesday, December 3.
Authorities are reminding drivers to slow down in work zones and follow instructions from traffic personnel to ensure safety for both road workers and the public.
