Nashville’s Honky Tonk Highway Closed After Mysterious SinkholeNashville’s Honky Tonk Highway Closed After Mysterious Sinkhole Nashville, TN – A mysterious sinkhole has forced the closure of Broadway, known as Nashville’s Honky Tonk Highway, leaving businesses reeling and tourists stranded. On Tuesday morning, a gaping hole approximately 30 feet wide and 20 feet deep appeared on the 400 block of Broadway, between 4th and 5th Avenues. The sinkhole quickly filled with water, creating a hazardous situation for pedestrians and vehicles. The cause of the sinkhole is still unknown, but experts believe it may be related to recent heavy rainfall and aging infrastructure. City officials have evacuated nearby buildings and closed Broadway indefinitely until the sinkhole can be repaired. “It’s like something out of a movie,” said Jim Haynes, owner of the Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge, one of the most popular honky tonk bars on Broadway. “We’re just trying to assess the damage and figure out what we’re going to do. This is our livelihood.” The closure of Broadway has had a devastating impact on the city’s tourism industry. Honky tonk bars, restaurants, and souvenir shops along the street have been forced to close, resulting in lost revenue and layoffs. “We were just starting to see things improve after the pandemic, and now this,” said Amy Wallace, manager of the Ryman Auditorium. “It’s a huge setback for our industry.” Tourists who had planned to visit Nashville’s iconic music venues were also left disappointed. “We came all the way from California to hear some live music and see the city,” said Sarah Jones, a tourist from Los Angeles. “Now we’re stuck with nowhere to go.” City officials are working around the clock to repair the sinkhole and reopen Broadway as soon as possible. However, it is unclear how long it will take to complete the repairs and investigators are working to determine the cause of the sinkhole to prevent future incidents.
