CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The City of Clarksville is expected to receive heavy shipments over the course of the several weeks which could impact traffic in the area.

The trucks will move through the Clarksville streets beginning on February 11 and will be transported by Roll Lift USA in conjunction with Kuehne and Nagel Inc., from Arcosa Aggregates on Barge Point Road, to Air Liquide located off of Boolean Drive near Tylertown Road.

Most of the individual cross-town transports are expected to take between 4-6 hours to complete, based on preliminary estimates.

Officials say daily start times will be after 8:30 a.m. to avoid the bulk of traffic associated with Clarksville-Montgomery County Schools.

Tenn. mom invites son's organ recipients to do his favorite activity, dance

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.

Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.

Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
