NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — All lanes of Nolensville Pike have reopened after an overnight closure tied to a hazardous materials investigation at a Mapco convenience store.
The roadway was closed between I-440 and Vivelle Avenue after a report of potentially dangerous material found in a dumpster outside the Mapco at 2200 Nolensville Pike. Glenrose Avenue in the immediate area was also closed during the response.
Police are now asking for the public’s help identifying a man they believe placed hazardous materials inside the dumpster.
The Metro Nashville Police Department asked anyone who recognizes him to call 615-742-7463.
According to the Nashville Department of Transportation, all lanes of Nolensville Pike northbound and southbound beyond Vivelle Avenue reopened during overnight hours.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
