Road work has begun for the widening of Enon Springs Road and Rock Springs Road. Intermittent lane and road closures will occur during the course of the project resulting in delays each day.  The speed limit will be reduced to TWENTY-FIVE (25) MPH and will be strictly enforced for the safety of the workers and motoring public. Please keep your speed at 25mph.

Road Closure

Rock Springs Road will be closed between Old Nashville Hwy. and Austin Lee Drive Monday night, May 12th (and possibly Tuesday night) from 6:00 PM till 6:00 AM. The detour route will be marked.

FOUR WAY ALERT

Reminder, 4-Way Stop at the intersection of Rock Springs Road / Isabella Lane / Springhill Drive.

This 4-Way Stop will be in effect until a permanent traffic signal is installed following the completion of the Rock Springs Road Widening Project.

As a reminder, the speed limit is 25 mph throughout the Rock Springs Road construction area from Old Nashville Highway to StoneCrest Blvd and will be strictly enforced for the safety of the workers and motoring public.

The Town of Smyrna provides a curb-side chipper / brush pick-up service.  This service is free to all residents of Smyrna. The Streets Department runs the program. The Streets Department which is in the Public Works Division explains that the program is operated with the following guidelines:

1. The pile of brush must be left within four (4) feet of the edge of the road. This allows the crew to have access to the debris without making a mess in the resident’s yard.
2. The pile of brush must not be placed under trees, overhead wires or guy wires so that our equipment can reach it without posing a danger to the operator.
3. The maximum diameter of limbs is six (6) inches. Anything thicker than this will not be picked up.
4. The pile of brush can be no larger than ten (10) feet by ten (10) feet. If you think you will have more than this, consider laying out one pile for now and the other pile the next month.
5. The chipper cannot handle vines, loose leaves or root balls.
6. Do not include in your pile any building materials, plastic, metal, wire, cardboard, paper or glass.
7. If you have hired a commercial tree service, have them haul off the debris. In all likelihood, they are already billing you for it.
8. Leaves can be picked up. Simply put them in bio-degradable bags and leave them at the edge of your yard. Loose leaves will not be picked up.

9.  Do not put pile on street.  If an accident occurs as a result of this, the homeowner will be liable for the damages.
10. There is no need to schedule a pickup. The town is divided into sections and one section at a time is cleaned. The length of time between pick-ups varies depending on the amount of debris in the different sections.   Please keep in mind that this is our busiest time of year.

*Note* The chipper service is a free public service
for the residents and homeowners of Smyrna.
The Town of Smyrna will not pick up anything cut by
a "for profit" trimming or clearing service.
