Buffalo Road will be temporarily closed today until around 4:00 PM. The closure will extend from the intersection of Valley Road to the intersection of Flatwoods Road. This measure is being taken to facilitate the replacement of storm drain tiles by the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT). Residents and travelers are advised to steer clear of the area if possible to avoid any inconvenience.
During this period of road closure, both Lawrence County Fire Rescue and the Ethridge Fire Department will have volunteers stationed at their respective firehouses. This staffing arrangement is in place to ensure that emergency response times remain efficient in the event of a fire or medical situation. The safety of the community is a priority, and these measures are being implemented to maintain readiness during the construction work.
