City of Clarksville Shuts Down Offices Thursday Due to Lingering Ice and Snow

City of ClarksvilleClarksville, TN – City of Clarksville government offices will be closed Thursday, February 20th, 2025, due to the lingering impact of Tuesday night’s winter storm.

Clarksville experienced additional light snowfall overnight on Wednesday, February 19th, impacting travel conditions, coupled with some snow melt and overnight re-freezing causing scattered and deceptively-slick “black ice,” primarily on secondary streets in residential areas.

The area is also under a Cold Weather Advisory from the National Weather Service (NWS) because of extreme and dangerously-cold temperatures anticipated through Friday.

Essential City public safety personnel will be on duty as usual, and all essential City services will continue.

Residents are encouraged to stay indoors and limit travel in the case of winter weather conditions.

CDE Lightband

CDE Lightband offices will be open to the public during regular hours; however, customers are encouraged to conduct business via the website whenever possible.

Stay informed, Stay off the roads.

Residents are advised to stay home if at all possible. 

This is for the public’s safety, and it will also enable Public Safety personnel, the Clarksville Street Department, and other state and local road and utility crews to more-quickly and efficiently deploy personnel and equipment where they are needed. 

Please be advised that, along state highways in Clarksville, the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) is responsible for snow and ice removal. TDOT has an updated policy of primarily clearing the slower traffic lanes of snow and ice during winter weather events.

Motorists are also asked to remove parked vehicles from street sides in all Clarksville neighborhoods during this winter storm. This will allow for faster, more-efficient movement of Clarksville Street Department snow plows and salt trucks through the neighborhoods.

For those who must travel, publicly-accessible traffic cameras are available at several major intersections and can be used to assess travel routes. Traffic cameras can be viewed at www.clarksvilletn.gov/189/Traffic-Cameras

General updates regarding hours of operation will be sent to local media, and posted to both the City of Clarksville website and Facebook.
