Nashville New Year's: Road Closures For Music City Midnight

NASHVILLE, TN -- Hundreds of Metro Police officers will be on duty Sunday night as officials anticipate thousands of revelers at Bicentennial Mall for the Music City Midnight New Year's celebration.

Police announced the following road closures for the event, which will begin Sunday afternoon:

• Harrison Street, from Fourth Avenue to Rosa L. Parks Boulevard
• Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Avenues from James Robertson Parkway to Jefferson Street
• Junior Gilliam Way from Fourth Avenue to Fifth Avenue.

The northbound right lane of Rosa L. Parks Boulevard from 10th Circle North to Farmers Market Drive will serve as a dedicated drop-off/loading zone.

The only portion of the Lower Broad area closed to vehicle traffic will be Second Avenue between Broadway and Demonbreun, which will be dedicated to the sheriff's Sober Ride program. MNPD did say that other streets could be closed if pedestrian volume on the sidewalks makes it necessary.

With the Tennessee Titans kicking off at 3:25 p.m., football fans are advised to take the road closures under advisement, as they'll likely effect traffic after the game.
