Murfreesboro, TN - City Hall will close to the public at noon on Friday, Dec. 10, but limited staffing will continue to maintain offices in most departments, including Water Resources Customer Service at 300 NW Broad St., until 4:30 p.m. Road conditions are expected to worsen during the afternoon.

The Street Department is actively plowing and salting State Routes and major thoroughfares, working in two 12-hour shifts until roads are clear. They provide ice and snow removal on State Routes within City limits under contract to TDOT, as well as City streets. If motorists see hazardous street conditions, call 615-893-4380. Subdivision streets are typically not salted or plowed due to limited resources, focusing on primary thoroughfares.

Essential City services, Emergency operations, Public Safety, and Public Works/Street Department for snow and ice removal continue to operate. Murfreesboro Police officers are assisting drivers during weather-related emergencies. Motorists should avoid driving during inclement weather unless necessary. For non-emergencies, call MPD at 615-893-1311. All Murfreesboro Fire Rescue stations and Fire Administration are operational.

As of 9:25 a.m., MPD officers responded to five weather-related non-injury crashes and several road hazard calls where bridges or streets reported icing. Motorists are urged to “Take It Slow” in ice and snow. For minor vehicle crashes without injuries, move your vehicle out of the roadway to avoid secondary crashes.
