NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — I have a heads up for Franklin drivers! Major routes will shut down to traffic today and tomorrow as CSX works on train tracks in the area.
This will affect important downtown traffic flows.
Today the city tells us CSX will work on the tracks on Highway 96 also known as 3rd Avenue near the Harpeth River. Use Liberty Pike as your detour to east and west between downtown and Mack Hatcher.
Tomorrow, crews will be on Lewisburg Pike near Carnton Lane. Use Columbia Avenue and Highway 96 instead.
The city estimates the work could span from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Here’s a story offering a great example of how a common cause, and a little creativity, can “intersect” to improve quality of life. Our South Nashville reporter Patsy Montesinos shares how some neighbors decided to take action, following the tragic death of a 77-year-old in a hit-and-run along Antioch Pike earlier this year. See how they used “tactical urbanism” to make the area a little safer for all.
