Trion motorists face a significant traffic alteration starting today as Simmons Street closes between Central Avenue and Tavern Lane for essential bridge replacement work. The Town of Trion issued a reminder, urging drivers to plan alternate routes during the five-day closure.

The affected section of Simmons Street is shut down from Monday, October 6, 2025, through Friday, October 10, 2025. This infrastructure project aims to replace an aging bridge, ensuring the long-term safety and integrity of the roadway.

“The Town of Trion reminds all motorists that Simmons Street will be closed from Central Avenue to Tavern Lane for bridge replacement,” an official statement from the Town read. “Please use alternate routes.”

Commuters and local residents who typically use Simmons Street will need to adjust their travel plans for the duration of the week. Drivers are advised to allow for extra travel time and to follow all posted detour signs.

The Town of Trion emphasizes that the closure is necessary for the safety of both construction crews and the public. Barring unforeseen delays, Simmons Street is anticipated to reopen to traffic on Saturday, October 11, 2025.

Residents are encouraged to remain vigilant, observe all traffic signs, and exercise patience and caution while navigating the area. For project updates, residents can monitor official Town of Trion communications.
