TDOT Opens State Route 840 Community Center and Project Office
Public Invited to Visit Community Center for SR840 Information & Questions

Nashville, Tenn. - The Tennessee Department of Transportation is pleased to announce the opening of the SR 840 Community Center and Project Office. TDOT Commissioner Gerald Nicely, along with members of the SR 840 Citizens Resource Team and the surrounding community, gathered for an open house Tuesday evening to officially mark the opening of the offices.

“This facility will provide a central location where anyone interested in the SR 840 project can come to find information, discuss issues, and get answers to any questions they may have,” said Commissioner Nicely. “This office will remain open until the entire SR 840 project is complete.”

The SR 840 Community Center and Project Office will further implement the Context Sensitive Design (CSD) process of the SR 840 project in Williamson County. TDOT is using the CSD process to develop a roadway that maintains the natural beauty, aesthetics, historical value, and environmental integrity of its surroundings.

Visitors can view photographs of the project, maps, timelines and diagrams at the center. Representatives from TDOT, as well as the contractor and consultants working on the project, will be on site daily.

The SR 840 Community Center and Project Office is located at 5720 Pinewood Rd (SR 46), near the Williamson County landfill. It is open Monday – Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.  The telephone number is (615) 790-2424.
