Clarksville, TN – Drivers in downtown Clarksville should expect delays Saturday as Commerce Street will be closed between 1st Street and 2nd Street for most of the day.
According to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, the closure will be in effect Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Crews will be setting up a crane to complete roof work on the Montgomery County Jail and Public Safety Complex. All lanes and parking spaces along that stretch of Commerce Street will be blocked to traffic during the project.
The Sheriff’s Office noted that contractors will also be monitoring pedestrian access near the building’s main entrance. While the crane is actively lifting, pedestrian monitors may briefly restrict or redirect foot traffic in the area.
Officials encourage drivers to use alternate routes and allow extra travel time while work is underway. The closure is expected to last only for the scheduled time frame on Saturday, with no additional impacts announced.
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office will provide updates if there are changes to the schedule or extended closures.
