Monday turned into a headache for drivers and business owners along Murfreesboro Road after a water main broke at 1129 Murfreesboro Road in Franklin, shutting down a traffic lane and triggering emergency repair work.
Crews were scheduled to begin digging in at 10:45 a.m., with the city estimating about a five-hour window to get the main fixed. During that time, officials warned that water service to the nearby Indian Springs Condominiums and roughly 10 surrounding businesses could be interrupted. Drivers moving through the area have been asked to slow down near the work zone and plan for delays.
City Advisory And Repair Timeline
According to a post from the City of Franklin, crews were already on scene, and the repair work was set to start at 10:45 a.m., with an estimated five-hour window to complete the fix. The city said a single traffic lane near the break would be closed while workers excavate and make repairs.
Who Could Lose Water Service
The city cautioned that “service to Indian Springs Condominiums may be interrupted” and that “service to customers may be interrupted for about ten businesses.” Residents and business owners in the immediate area were urged to be ready for temporary outages and to conserve water until officials confirm that service is fully restored.
Traffic Impacts And Local Context
Motorists are being told to expect delays, follow directions from crews on site, and ease off the gas near the work area. Similar water-main failures have closed Franklin streets for hours in the past, and a rupture on Lewisburg Pike in July 2025 forced extended repairs and left about 100 households without water, as reported by WSMV.
Where To Get Updates
The City of Franklin is posting repair updates and advisories on its official channels, including its website and social media accounts.
