CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Montgomery County government officials will ask the state of Tennessee for road funding during the next 110th General Assembly State Delegation in 2017.
The Legislative Agendas includes the following list of projects that the county hopes the Tennessee Department of Transportation can help fund:
1. Construction phase for SR48/13 from Zinc Plant Road to River Road on SR149 at approximately $28,000,000.
2. Environmental & Design phase for SR237/Rossview Road from west of Keysburg Road to west of SR374/Warfield Blvd. at approximately $500,000.
3. Right-Of-Way phase for the SR374 extension from Dotsonville Road to US79/Dover Road at approximately $2,600,000.
4. Engineering/Environmental phase for SR48/Trenton Road from SR13/Wilma Rudolph Blvd. to SR236/Tiny Town Road at approximately $1,600,000.
5. Interchange justification study for I-24 between Exit 4 and 8 at approximately $40,000.
The agenda says the state of Tennessee has not kept up with infrastructure to match the pace of industrial growth. A dedicated funding source could cut road project times in half, according to the agenda.
