MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Construction work will begin next week on Hwy 149 and Hwy 13 in Montgomery County.
The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) will work on grading, drainage, construction of welded steel plate girder bridge, retaining wall, and paving from River Road to Zinc Plant Road.
Work will begin Tuesday, March 13 and continue daily from 9 am. to 3 p.m.
There will be temporary lane closures with flagging operations on Hwy 13.
This work is part of a widening project for these state roads. According to TDOT, the purpose of the project is to provide a multi-lane facility as part of the planned State Road 374 bypass around the City of Clarksville.
The new facility will provide an improved and more efficient transportation corridor between the areas to the south and the areas to the west of the city. The proposed project is designed to improve safety, capacity, and mobility for existing and future traffic.
Each 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, curb and gutter, and five-foot sidewalks on each side. A new bridge over the Cumberland River will be constructed in phases.
