Speed limit reduced on Hwy 48/13 due to construction

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Officials have reduced the speed limit on Highway 48/13 in Clarksville-Montgomery County due to an ongoing construction project.

The speed limit has changed from 45 mph to 35 mph in the construction zone area in both directions on 48/13. Clarksville police said the 45 mph signs have been covered and 35 mph signs are in place.

Police will be heavily patrolling to enforce the new 35 mph speed in the construction zone.

The construction area goes beyond the bounds of the city limits into the county, but Clarksville police will only enforce the 35 mph speed within the city limits, according to spokesman Jim Knoll.
