MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WTVF) — A gas line was struck Tuesday evening during utility work near Interstate 24 and Medical Center Parkway, prompting road closures and traffic delays in Murfreesboro.
According to the Murfreesboro Police Department, crews installing power poles near Medical Center Parkway and I-24 hit the gas line.
Police said the westbound I-24 off-ramp at Medical Center Parkway is closed. Two lanes on Medical Center Parkway are also shut down, leaving only one inbound lane open.
Drivers are being warned to expect delays for the next three to four hours and are encouraged to use alternate routes and use caution in the area.
As we honor those who have served our country and made the ultimate sacrifice, it is also heartening to see the military right a wrong. Chris Davis brings us the moving story of a Purple Heart ceremony two decades in the making. It's worth a watch.
A heartfelt thanks to all who bravely serve.
