Lebanon, TN – Drivers in Wilson County are being urged to avoid part of Bluebird Road today after officials announced an indefinite road closure following an overnight crash that resulted in a diesel fuel spill.
According to the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office, the 9400 block of Bluebird Road was shut down after a crash late Wednesday night led to diesel fuel leaking onto the roadway. Authorities said the closure will remain in place indefinitely while environmental cleanup operations are conducted.
Marion Environmental Group has been called to the scene and is expected to handle the cleanup of the fuel spill. Officials have not provided an estimated timeline for when the road may reopen, citing safety and environmental concerns as crews work to remove contaminated material from the area.
The affected stretch of Bluebird Road is located east of Lebanon and is commonly used by local residents and commuters traveling through rural parts of Wilson County. Drivers are being advised to plan alternate routes and allow extra travel time, especially during peak morning and afternoon hours.
No additional details about injuries or the number of vehicles involved in the crash have been released as of Thursday morning. Authorities have also not said how much diesel fuel was spilled or whether nearby properties were impacted.
The Wilson County Sheriff’s Office said updates will be provided as cleanup progresses and once a clearer reopening timeline is available. Motorists are encouraged to monitor local traffic advisories and avoid the area until further notice.
