Temporary Closing Of Highway 25 Planned In Smith Co.

Smith County’s Highway 25 will be temporarily closed Saturday at the site of TDOT’s rockfall mitigation project just west of Carthage.

Officials said the closure will allow utility work to be conducted by Upper Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation. More utility work will be done over the next few weeks as many companies waited to conduct the work until blasting was completed at the construction site, according to TDOT officials.

The road will be closed from 6:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. on Saturday. That date is subject to change because of weather.
