(MURFREESBORO) The half-hour between 9:45 and 10:15 Wednesday (5/22/2019) morning proved to be a busy one for emergency responders. Some big rigs near Cracker Barrell off South Church Street snagged some lines and created issues for AT&T. Minutes after that, a construction accident in Shelton Square, a life-style community off Florence Road, resulted in a cut gas line.
Murfreesboro Electric arrived quickly and determined that only low-hanging telephone lines were pulled. Then AT&T crews had their own big rigs and bucket trucks working South Church near I-24 for several hours, as they lifted the stretched their lines. (see photo)
ATMOS Energy handled the gas line problem in the subdivision near Florence Road and between I-24 and 840.
