Project Description

The estimated construction start date is March 2027.
Choose How You Move
Choose How You Move (CHYM) identified Murfreesboro Pike as an All-Access Corridor. The Choose How You Move planning and design will incorporate and tie into these Murfreesboro Pike improvements with the future implementation of the All-Access Corridor.
Vision Zero
Murfreesboro Pike was identified in the Vision Zero Plan as one of the top 4 most dangerous streets for cyclists and pedestrians. This project is located along the High Injury Network and listed as a priority high injury street. Murfreesboro Pike consistently presents high pedestrian, motorist, and cyclist fatalities or injuries; these risks are compounded by the corridor being located in one of Nashville’s most vulnerable areas.
WalknBike
Murfreesboro Pike, including this segment, contains many Priority Sidewalk Network projects slated for construction in the 2022-2024 WalknBike work plan. This project will provide connectivity to the broader sidewalk network for pedestrians along Murfreesboro Pike and enhance safety throughout the corridor.
