Smyrna outlines pothole repairs, Rosemont resurfacing and leaf-pickup rules

Unidentified Speaker, a town staff member, said the public works department “continues to address pothole repairs throughout the town” and that crews are “actively working on milling and resurfacing operations in the Rosemont subdivision.”

The speaker said recent rain, colder temperatures and the holiday schedule have slowed progress but added that “with warmer weather expected next week, we anticipate work will move forward at a steadier pace.” The town did not provide a firm restart date beyond that forecast.

On state work, the town said the Tennessee Department of Transportation has opened the northbound lanes of Lowry Street and the new State Route Parkway eastbound off-ramp to Lowry Street. The town’s announcement did not include a timeline for any remaining state work or whether further local coordination is needed.

Residents were reminded of curbside rules for seasonal collection: “All leaves must be placed in brown, biodegradable lawn and leaf bags to ensure proper collection and disposal,” the speaker said. The town directed residents to its online project tracker for details and updates, saying, “for a complete list of all current projects in the town of Smyrna, just head to townofsmyrna.org, click on project trackers, and you'll see everything that's happening right now.”

No motions, votes or formal council actions were recorded in the announcement. The speaker closed by thanking residents “for your cooperation and patience as we work to maintain and improve our community's infrastructure.”
