The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT), in partnership with the City of Hendersonville, plans to construct improvements to Saundersville Road between State Route 386 (Vietnam Veterans Boulevard) and State Route 6 (US 31E, East Main Street) in Sumner County. The project will construct a new alignment for Saundersville Road, which will allow closure of the at-grade CSX railroad crossing at Winston Hills Parkway, with traffic routed under a new railroad bridge. Additionally, the project will include new intersections at US 31E and Saundersville Road, ADA-compliant signals, ramps, and crosswalks, and intersection improvements along the project footprint.
Current Status: Right-of-way acquisition is underway.
Estimated construction start: This project is scheduled in TDOT’s 10-Year Project Plan to begin construction in Fiscal Year 2030.
Estimated completion*: TBD
Funding Type: This project is funded through the Statewide Partnership Program. The City of Hendersonville is providing a portion of the project’s funding, with the remainder funded through the Transportation Modernization Fund and traditional federal and state sources.
