TDOT sets Edgemoor widening timeline
The Tennessee Department of Transportation has outlined its plans to expand Edgemoor Road, though the actual dates remain uncertain.
The state has two projects planned along Edgemoor.
The first will widen the section from State Route 62, also known as Illinois Avenue, to Melton Lake Drive into a four-lane concrete-median roadway.
That project is identified for construction funding between July 1, 2027, and June 30, 2028, according to TDOT Community Relations Officer Mark Nagli.
The second project will widen Edgemoor from Melton Lake Drive to State Route 9, also known as Clinton Highway, into a five-lane facility.
It is identified for construction funding between July 1, 2028, and June 30, 2029.
In the meantime, TDOT is developing design plans for both segments, TDOT Project Manager Marlena Gore told Anderson County Commissioner Tracy Wandell in a July 29 email.
he email was included in the agenda for the Aug. 18 County Commission meeting.
Gore said TDOT is considering options such as traffic signal and lighting locations, median openings, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The agency must also review environmental impacts.
While no date has been set, Gore said TDOT plans to meet with the public this fall to discuss environmental, design and right-of-way issues. Nagli said a date has not yet been determined.
Separately, Gore said TDOT representatives plan to contact affected property owners in early 2026.
