Campbell Station Road Widening Project To Begin in July

In an effort to alleviate as many traffic complications as possible, the Town of Farragut will be continually updating its citizens over the next 12 to 15 months regarding the Campbell Station Road Widening Project, set to begin this month.

This Tennessee Department of Transportation project will transform Campbell Station Road from the current three-lane section to a five-lane section, complete with a four-foot bike lane, curb and gutter, and a five-foot sidewalk on each side. The end result will be a much more efficient road to handle the ever-growing traffic needs in the Town.

Residents need to be aware that, during the duration of this project, the greenways and sidewalks along Campbell Station Road will be closed from Jamestowne Boulevard to Grigsby Chapel Road. During construction, Campbell Station Road will become two lanes from Jamestowne Boulevard to Old Colony Parkway (center turn lane eliminated) and three lanes from Old Colony to Parkside Drive (one lane in each direction with a center turn lane).

We will post another update soon regarding the traffic changes for all four Farragut schools. The Town encourages citizens who normally utilize Campbell Station Road to access Parkside Drive and Interstate 40 to begin considering alternate routes, such as Grigsby Chapel Road or Lovell Road.

Stay tuned to our blog and www.townoffarragut.org - and follow us via our Facebook page (Town of Farragut) and Twitter (townoffarragut) - to stay informed of the latest construction updates.
