NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A portion of Broadway will close to traffic on Friday and Saturday evenings beginning March 13.
According to the notice, the closure will affect Broadway between Rep. John Lewis Way and 2nd Avenue.
The street will be closed from 7:30 p.m. until 1 a.m. the following morning on Friday and Saturday nights.
Officials said the closure is intended as a safety measure for pedestrians on Broadway during those evenings. The notice also states that traffic control will assist at intersections along 4th Avenue to support transit operations and help pedestrians cross safely.
The effort is listed as being in partnership with Metro Police, NDOT, and the Nashville Fire Department.
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.”
