Portion of Concord Road in Williamson County Closing June 1st

NASHVILLE – A portion of Concord Road (State Route 253) in Williamson County will close beginning June 1, 2010. The closure will allow Tennessee Department of Transportation contract crews to accelerate the excavation and utility relocation work that must be completed for the widening of Concord Road. Concord Road will be closed from Edmondson Pike to Crockett Road for approximately 120 days.  

 

During this period, traffic will be detoured around the closure using Green Hills Boulevard and Crockett Road. A temporary traffic signal has been installed at the intersection of Crockett Road and Green Hills Boulevard to improve traffic flow around the closure. The closure will permit “Local Traffic Only” for residents of the Beech Grove subdivision. A detailed map of the detour is attached to this release.

 

TDOT will have numerous signs on area roads to alert motorists of the closure. Detour signs will also be clearly posted along the route. TDOT has worked closely with the City of Brentwood to coordinate the closure and maintain emergency services. Travelers are encouraged to visit the TDOT SmartWay web site at www.tn.gov/tdot/tdotsmartway/ or http://www.brentwood-tn.org/index.aspx?page=568 for detailed information about the project.

 

The $5.3 million project, which began in August of 2009, will widen Concord Road from Edmondson Pike to Sunset Road. The project is estimated to be complete by December 2010.
