Traffic Advisory

Murfreesboro Bridge Repair Project Requires Lane Closures on Northwest Broad St.


Nashville, Tenn. – The Tennessee Department of Transportation will begin repairing two bridges in a highly traveled section of Murfreesboro in the coming days. Both bridges are located on Northwest Broad Street. One of the bridges is located at the Main Street intersection. The other bridge crosses over Lytle Creek, just north of Main Street. This is an accelerated repair project that is expected to be complete in June 2009.

The repairs will require that Northwest Broad Street be reduced to two lanes in each direction. The center turn lane will also be closed during construction, which will prohibit left turns from Northwest Broad Street onto Main Street, as well as left turns from Main Street onto Northwest Broad. The lane restrictions will be in place on Northwest Broad Street from State Route 96 to Vine Street beginning the week of February 9, 2009.

TDOT will have several portable message boards placed near the project area and on other Murfreesboro streets to alert motorists of the closures. Drivers are strongly encouraged to seek an alternate route around this work zone.
