CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Phase one of the Spring Creek Parkway development is nearing completion, which brings the City of Clarksville one step closer to completing one of their Tier 1 projects included in the Transportation 2020+ Plan.
Initial planning began in 2015 on what was originally called the Northeast Connector. Now known as Spring Creek Parkway, the road project will run from the intersection of Trenton and Kennedy Road to Wilma Rudolph Boulevard, then to Ted Crozier Boulevard. This new corridor is expected to drastically reduce traffic on Wilma Rudolph by providing an additional path to Exit 4, according to previous reports.
Following the completion of Phase 1, which is expected to be substantially completed by the end of the calendar year, Phase 2 is set to bid in February 2025, according to Street Department Director David Smith.
Phase 2 will include building a bridge over Spring Creek, then connecting the terminus of the existing phase with Wilma Rudolph Boulevard. Once complete, drivers will have a clear path from Trenton Road to Wilma Rudolph.
Last year while speaking to the City Council, Smith said Spring Creek Parkway is the largest road project Clarksville has undertaken in terms of scale and dollar value.
Clarksville Now has reached out to the City of Clarksville for additional timeline information.
