Nashville Street Closures Cause Traffic Delays

Nashville Street Closures Cause Traffic DelaysNashville Street Closures Cause Traffic Delays Major street closures in downtown Nashville are causing significant traffic delays for motorists. Beginning at 6:00 AM this morning, Broadway between 4th Avenue North and 5th Avenue South has been closed for a construction project that is expected to last until Friday. In addition, Church Street between 4th Avenue North and 5th Avenue South is closed for utility work, and 5th Avenue North between Broadway and Union Street is closed for road resurfacing. These closures are creating major congestion in the area, with traffic backed up for several blocks in all directions. Motorists are advised to avoid the area if possible or seek alternate routes. The closures have also impacted public transportation, with several bus routes being detoured or canceled. The Nashville MTA is urging riders to check the agency’s website or social media accounts for the latest service updates. Police officers are directing traffic at key intersections, but delays are expected to continue throughout the day. Motorists are encouraged to use navigation apps or listen to traffic reports for real-time updates on the situation. The Metro Nashville Department of Transportation (NDOT) is urging motorists to be patient and to give themselves extra time for their commutes. The department is also reminding drivers to obey all traffic laws and to avoid blocking intersections. NDOT expects the Broadway closure to be completed by Friday evening, and the Church Street and 5th Avenue North closures to be completed by Saturday evening. However, delays are possible due to weather or unforeseen circumstances. For more information, visit the NDOT website or follow the department on social media.
