Project Description
The Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure (NDOT) is coordinating with the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) to construct an 10-foot sidewalk, 4-foot furnishing zone, and curb/gutter along the south side of Harding Place from Danby Drive to Nolensville Pike.
