Concord Road Widening from Jones Parkway to Arrowhead Drive - The City recently entered into a contract with the TN Department of Transportation (TDOT) for development of a project to widen Concord Road between Jones Parkway and Arrowhead Drive. The road will be widened to 3 lanes with six foot shoulders, curb and gutter, and a separated 10-foot wide bike/pedestrian path running along the south side of the improved road. Funding for the project will include $3 million in federal highway funds and approximately $1.2 million in City funding. Preliminary design work is expected to be complete by early fall 2010 with right-of-way acquisition planned for 2011 and construction tentatively scheduled to begin in early 2012.
Franklin Road South - Widening of Franklin Road is proposed from Concord Road to Moore’s Lane. Survey work and engineering design are underway with the city funding engineering. Scheduling for right-of-way acquisition and construction is uncertain at this time and is subject to future funding commitments from the Tennessee Dept. of Transportation.
