Franklin Road Corridor Improvements and Streetscape
Pedestrian safety and utility upgrades are the primary reasons for this project. New sidewalks will provide a safe way for pedestrians to access Harlinsdale Farm, Jamison Station and the Factory from downtown Franklin. See more here Franklin Road Corridor Improvements and Streetscape.
Old Peytonsville Road & Long Lane Bridge & Connector
Included in the update to the Major Thoroughfare Plan (Connect Franklin) are 2 crossings of I-65. This project is one of those crossings and is intended to connect Old Peytonsville Road with Long Lane. The main advantage of this crossing is to allow for additional connectivity across I-65 without having to use Goose Creek Bypass (SR-248) or Murfreesboro Road (SR-96). This connection will help reduce traffic on our arterial roadways and provide options to avoid future congestion at the Goose Creek Interchange, helping make and keep this an attractive place to live and work. For more information go to Old Peytonsville Road & Long Lane Bridge & Connector.
