Happening Now
Construction begins in early 2026. Once construction begins, the project will take approximately one year to complete.
Next Milestone: Completion
Background
The Airport Road sidewalk is one of several transportation projects prioritized by City residents during public outreach for the 2016 bond referendum. This project enhances the City’s sidewalk network by constructing a new sidewalk along the southbound travel lanes of Airport Road from Hendersonville Road to the end of city limits at the southernmost entrance of Walmart, a total length of approximately 0.6 miles. Crosswalks and pedestrian signals will be installed throughout the project, including at the Walmart entrance and Old Shoals Road as well as at the intersection with Hendersonville Road, where the sidewalk will continue north for about .03 miles to connect with a bus stop.
The purpose of this project is to improve mobility, safety, and continuity for pedestrians on City streets and provide pedestrian connections to important commercial and public amenities.
