Recently, our Board of Aldermen awarded the lowest and best bid for this road extension project having a total cost of $4,713,048 that will connect Tchulahoma Road with the current dead end of Nail Road just west of Getwell Road. This project is a key component to our comprehensive transportation grid improvement plan as it will facilitate development in this heavy economic demand area and relieve traffic congestion on Getwell Road. Private developers see the tremendous benefits of this project as well evidenced by the fact that they have agreed to pay 50% of the construction and design costs. Specifically, this extension will provide three-lanes of curb and gutter roadway with prepared space for pedestrian path extensions and traffic signalization at Tchulahoma.
Construction is projected to begin in December of this year with completion in November, 2025.
