Freeman Ridge access limited
Traffic on Freeman Ridge Road is being limited while contractors for the town of Nashville replace a water line.
Work was set to start Monday, April 23 and last through the end of August or early September, town administration reported last week.
Contractors will be on site Mondays to Thursdays, working 10-hour days, the town reported. During the project, residents who live north of the work area on Freeman Ridge are asked to enter and exit their property via Bear Wallow Road.
Freeman Ridge may be closed at times.
“During the time of replacing the water line, contractors will also be hooking up existing service lines to the new line for our customers along with installing two hydrants,” the town reported.
“For those customers who have septic lines that run under Freeman Ridge, we ask that you contact the town administration at 812-988-5526 for locating purposes.”
