CLARKSVILLE, TN — The Montgomery County Highway Department announces the closure of Charles Bell Road to facilitate construction efforts and improve public safety. The section of Charles Bell Road between Steel Stock Road and Archibald Road will be closed to the public beginning June 3 and is expected to remain closed for up to 90 days.

With the increased risk to public safety presented by the volume of heavy equipment required to complete construction projects along Charles Bell Road, the road will be closed during the day while the projects are being completed. The Highway Department appreciates the cooperation and understanding of all residents and commuters during this period.
