From the Metro Nashville Police Department:

Security on and around the Belmont University campus will be extremely tight next Tuesday (Oct. 7) for the presidential debate. The debate is not open to the general public, and citizens are encouraged to steer clear of the area. A number of streets in the Belmont vicinity will be closed in order to enhance security. The following street closures will be in effect Tuesday between 4 p.m. and 12 midnight:

• Belmont Boulevard from Compton Avenue to 18th Avenue South;
• Bernard Avenue from 15th Avenue South to Belmont Boulevard;
• Acklen Avenue from 18th Avenue South to the entrance of the Fidelity Hall parking lot;
• 15th Avenue South from Compton Avenue to Wedgewood Avenue;
  

Acklen Avenue from East Belmont Circle to 15th Avenue South will be closed from 4 p.m. Monday through 8 a.m. Wednesday. In addition to the road closures, there will be intermittent traffic disruptions on a number of Nashville streets early next week as the candidates’ motorcades, with Metro police and Secret Service escort, move from place to place.
