Hunters Point Pike reopened Friday afternoon after storm damage brought down multiple utility poles in Lebanon, Tennessee, reopening a key route even as crews kept working along the stretch.
The Lebanon Police Department said in a 12:36 p.m. update that “the road is now open to traffic,” after earlier outages were reported on the north side of town when utility poles came down between Hartmann Drive and Hunters Village Drive. Drivers were asked to use caution and watch for workers in the area.
The reopening followed a rough start to Friday in Lebanon, where the pole damage cut power on the north side and slowed traffic through part of the day. Crews were still working along that section of Hunters Point Pike even after the roadway opened, a sign that the cleanup was not finished when drivers were allowed back through.
For residents searching for a power outage near me in Lebanon, the immediate answer is that the road closure has eased, but the utility work has not. The danger has shifted from blocked traffic to active roadside repairs, and the police warning makes clear that the area remains a live work zone even with the road back open.
One local social media post captured the frustration and uncertainty that often follows storm damage. Austin Pollack wrote, “pray for Cole,” a brief message that reflected the human side of a day defined by downed poles, outages and repair crews working to restore normal travel on the north side of town.
Hunters Point Pike is open again, but the final phase of the response is still underway. The road closure is over; the cleanup is not.
