MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WTVF) — Drivers in Murfreesboro should plan for traffic delays next week as CSX crews perform emergency repairs at a railroad crossing on Middle Tennessee Boulevard.
The crossing at Church Street will be closed to through traffic for 24 hours on Wednesday, June 17, according to city officials.
CSX said the closure is needed to repair an emergency widening gauge at the railroad crossing.
Middle Tennessee Boulevard is expected to reopen on Thursday, June 18, once repairs are complete.
Officials said detour routes will be posted before the closure begins and are encouraging motorists to plan ahead and allow extra travel time.
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.”
