CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – There will be intermittent road closures on Warfield Blvd. (SR 374) between LM 2-3 for pre-split blasting throughout the month of June.
The first round of blasting began Tuesday, June 12 and closed the intersection at Dunbar Cave Rd. for about an hour while crews demolished parts of the hill.

All traffic will be halted during the blasting process until all debris is removed from roadway.
The Tennessee Department of Transportation says these closures will occur between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
The $20.6 million project will widen the 2.27-mile stretch of Warfield from three lanes to five lanes with curbs, gutters and sidewalks. The work will include improvements to the intersections at Dunbar Cave Road, Rossview Road, and Ted Crozier Boulevard with additional turn lanes and new, upgraded traffic signals.
The City of Clarksville placed some sales-tax proceeds into a dedicated road fund, and negotiated an agreement with TDOT to contribute $1.5 million in City funding to assist with utility relocation, right-of-way acquisition and design to speed up the project.
