Lebanon, TN – Drivers in Wilson County are facing delays today after a structure fire forced the closure of the 1800 block of East Division, prompting emergency crews to block traffic and urge drivers to avoid the area.
According to the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office, the closure was announced Wednesday afternoon after firefighters responded to an active structure fire along East Division. Deputies said the roadway is currently unsafe for travel while emergency personnel remain on scene and work to secure the area.
The Sheriff’s Office is asking motorists to use alternate routes until further notice, as the closure affects both directions of travel. No estimated reopening time was provided as crews continue firefighting operations, assess damage, and monitor for hotspots.
The affected stretch is a commonly used connector for drivers traveling between Lebanon neighborhoods and nearby commercial areas, meaning commuters could experience delays during the afternoon and evening travel windows. Officials did not release details on the cause of the fire or whether anyone was injured.
Residents who live near East Division may notice increased emergency activity and should follow any guidance provided by first responders. More updates are expected later today as crews determine when the roadway can safely reopen.
Drivers are urged to check navigation apps and local updates before heading through the area.
