Williamson County, TN – Drivers across Williamson County are being urged to use extreme caution—or avoid travel altogether—today as winter weather continues to create hazardous road conditions, including ice-covered pavement, downed trees, and blocked secondary roads.
According to the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office, crews are actively responding to multiple trouble spots Wednesday, particularly on back roads, bridges, and shaded areas where ice is slower to melt. Officials say conditions can change rapidly, even within short distances.
A photo shared by the sheriff’s office shows Mangrum Road covered in snow and ice, with tree limbs bending into the roadway, illustrating the risks drivers may encounter across rural and less-traveled routes. Authorities warn that similar conditions may exist throughout the county, especially in areas outside city limits.
“If you can stay home, that is still the safest move,” the sheriff’s office said in a public advisory. “If you must get out, slow down, leave extra space, and expect the unexpected.”
Law enforcement and road crews continue working to clear hazards as they are reported, but officials stress that not all dangerous areas may be immediately visible. Bridges and overpasses remain a primary concern due to the increased likelihood of black ice.
Williamson County is part of the greater Middle Tennessee region, where lingering cold temperatures are prolonging icy conditions even after precipitation has ended. Drivers commuting toward nearby metro Nashville are encouraged to check routes carefully and allow extra travel time.
Residents are asked to monitor official county and law enforcement social media pages for real-time updates as conditions evolve throughout the day.
