Weekend Lane Closures Begin on Hillsboro Road Improvement Project

NASHVILLE – The first of several weekend lane closures along a busy section of Hillsboro Road in Green Hills will begin this weekend. The closures are part of a project to improve traffic flow along Hillsboro Road between Sharondale Drive and Crestmoor Road. Beginning at 9:00 p.m. Friday, July 10, Hillsboro Road Southbound will be reduced to one lane from Sharondale Drive to Crestmoor Road.  The lane closure will be in effect until 5:00 a.m. Monday, July 13.

 

During this period, crews will perform excavation and paving activities on the outside lane and shoulder of Hillsboro Road Southbound. The work is part of a project to add a center turn lane to Hillsboro Road from Sharondale Drive to Crestmoor Road. Hillsboro Road will also be resurfaced from Interstate 440 to Harding Place. The entire project is expected to be complete by the end of September 2009.

 

TDOT will use its overhead and portable message boards on Hillsboro Road and surrounding interstates to alert motorists of the lane closures. Drivers should expect delays and should seek an alternate route around this work zone if possible.
