Sumner County, TN – Commuters and residents in northern Sumner County should plan for delays today as a portion of Tyree Springs Road is temporarily closed for utility work during the late morning hours.
According to the Sumner County Emergency Management Agency, Tyree Springs Road is closed Wednesday, January 29, from 9 a.m. to noon, while crews complete power line repairs. The closure affects the stretch of road between Marlin Road and Flat Ridge Road, an area frequently used by local drivers traveling between rural neighborhoods and nearby connectors.
Officials say the closure is necessary to allow utility crews safe access to overhead power infrastructure. No estimated delays beyond noon have been announced, and the road is expected to fully reopen once repairs are completed.
Drivers are advised to avoid the area if possible and use alternate routes during the closure window. While detour signage may be posted, officials recommend allowing extra travel time, particularly for those with mid-morning appointments, school pickups, or work-related travel.
The Sumner County Sheriff’s Office shared the alert Wednesday morning to increase public awareness and reduce traffic congestion around the work zone. No power outages related to the repairs have been reported at this time.
Motorists should remain alert for workers, utility vehicles, and changing traffic patterns near the closure area. Additional updates will be shared by county officials if the repair schedule changes or if reopening is delayed.
