Cookeville, TN – A section of S Lowe Avenue at E Hudgens Street is temporarily closed Tuesday following a spill of wet dirt from nearby Stevens Street construction, according to the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office.
The Rogers Group construction crew is currently on site, working to clear the debris and reopen the road as quickly as possible. Motorists are being asked to avoid the area and use alternate routes until cleanup is complete.
Authorities have not provided an estimated reopening time but are encouraging drivers to stay alert for updated traffic advisories throughout the day. The Sheriff’s Office also reminds residents to contact them at (931) 528-8484 for assistance or traffic-related inquiries.
The spill resulted from ongoing roadwork on Stevens Street, which has caused intermittent lane restrictions in recent weeks. No injuries or vehicle damage have been reported in connection with the incident.
Residents and commuters in the Cookeville area should expect minor travel delays during peak hours while crews continue clearing the affected roadway.
