NES Improvements in Brentwood to Cause Outage

Nashville, Tenn. – A significant portion of the Brentwood retail district will be impacted by a 12-hour outage on Tuesday, June 19 from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. on June 20. Nashville Electric Service (NES) will be replacing bad poles and condensing some of its electrical equipment by removing an unused circuit. The outage will affect the west side of Franklin Road from approximately the H. G. Hill Shopping Center to the Brentwood Medical Center Building and on the east side of Franklin Road beginning with businesses in the front portion of Brentwood Place Shopping Center. Crews will be working overnight to reduce the impact on daytime traffic and to complete the job in one night rather than spreading it over multiple nights. One lane of Franklin Road will be closed for the safety of our employees, and the traffic light at Franklin and Chadwick Drive will be inoperable The Brentwood Police Department will be assisting with traffic flow. Approximately 80 NES customers will be impacted by the outage. They are being notified in advance to make any necessary plans or preparations. Nashville Electric Service is one of the 12 largest public electric utilities in the nation, distributing energy to more than 360,000 customers in Middle Tennessee.
