Yesterday, we told you about the TDOT projects in Franklin, today we take a look at the TDOT projects in Brentwood-Nolensville.
State Route 11-Nolensville RoadÂ
The project for State Route 11 (US 31-A/Nolensville Road), from south of Burkitt Road in Williamson County to near SR 254 (Old Hickory Boulevard) in Metro Nashville-Davidson County, includes reconstruction and widening for approximately 4.4 miles. The proposed improvements are intended to address congestion, improve safety, and accommodate growth in this rapidly developing area.
The existing roadway is primarily two lanes. The project will widen the existing roadway to a five-lane facility, including two 12-foot travel lanes in each direction, a 12-foot dedicated center turn lane, 10-foot paved shoulders/bike lanes, curb and gutter, and five-foot sidewalks on each side.
Due to the significant cost estimate to appraise and acquire Right of Way within the project limits, the proposed improvements will be separated into two smaller sections or phases.
Phase I: north of Mill Creek to near SR 254 (Old Hickory Boulevard)
Phase II: south of Burkitt Road to north of Mill Creek
Currently, State Route 11 is on the backlog list for TDOT. A public design meeting was held on February 5,2015 and the right of way appraisals are underway for the phase one of the project.
State Route 253-Concord RoadÂ
The widening of SR 253 (Concord Road) from Sunset Road to US 31A/41A (SR 11, Nolensville Road) will result in two 12-foot lanes, plus a 12-foot continuous turn lane and a 10-foot multi-purpose bike and walking path. The $13.5 million project will also straighten out the curve near the Mill Creek Bridge, and a concrete I-beam bridge and box beam bridge built over Mill Creek and Owl Creek.Insert Tab 1 Paragraph 1 data here.
Due to the endangered Nashville crayfish species living in the two creeks, there are seasonal restrictions on in-stream construction. TDOT and its contractors will not work in flowing waters from October 1st through May 30th, to ensure that reproductive activities of the crayfish are not affected by construction. You can read more about the crayfish in the section on Nashville crayfish -watch the video below. TDOT estimates the project to be completed September of 2016.
