Utility Work to Close Imperial Boulevard in Hendersonville

Nashville, Tenn. – The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) will conduct temporary lane closures on Imperial Boulevard in Sumner County.

Beginning Monday, December 8, through Wednesday, December 10, crews from Rogers Group will close Imperial Boulevard at the intersection of Walton Ferry Road daily from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. A detour for non-through traffic will be in place to divert traffic onto Sanders Ferry Road and Walton Ferry Road.

This closure is necessary for a storm drain replacement on Imperial Boulevard. This work is part of TDOT’s Walton Ferry Road/Old Shackle Island Road widening and improvements project, which spans from Nokes Drive to Volunteer Drive. The project also includes widening the intersection at State Route 6 (US 31/Main Street) and Walton Ferry Road/Old Shackle Island Road.

All work is weather-dependent. As always, drivers are reminded to allow additional time, slow down, and move over when traveling through a work zone. The Move Over Law was passed in 2006. The penalty for violating the law in Tennessee carries the possibility of up to 30 days in jail and a maximum fine of up to $500.

Motorists can alert TDOT to potholes by calling the TDOTFIX Hotline at 833-TDOTFIX or using this online form: TDOT Maintenance Request. The TDOT SmartWay Map (https://smartway.tn.gov) provides the latest construction activity traffic updates. Travelers can also call 511 for travel information.
