Planned Road Closure Schedule and Detour Information

The next phase of the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) Concord Road widening project will require that Concord Road be closed between Crockett Road and Edmondson Pike. This closure is scheduled to begin June 1, 2010 and is scheduled to last 4 months.  Edmondson Pike access to Concord Road will not be affected by this closure.  For more information on the project, please see the latest project newsletter.

The road closure is necessary in order to allow for 1.) construction of a retaining wall along the south edge of the road, near the creek, as required by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation in order to protect the habitat of the Nashville Crayfish; 2.) construction of a new culvert at the creek crossing just west of the entrance to Beech Grove Subdivision; and, 3.) cutting down of the hill near Edmondson Pike to reduce the steepness of the road in this area.

This road closure will cause significant traffic problems in the immediate area. The designated detour route is along Crockett Road and Green Hill Blvd (see map).  To allow detour traffic flow more smoothly, a temporary traffic signal has been installed at the Crockett Road/Green Hill Blvd./Raintree Parkway intersection.

Drivers from Davidson and Rutherford counties who normally use Concord Road to reach I-65, Cool Springs and Maryland Farms are strongly encouraged to avoid Concord Road and find alternate routes, including Old Hickory Blvd in Davidson County or Highway 96 in Rutherford and Williamson counties.
