From the meeting
“Next project is McEwen phase four, which is Cool Springs Boulevard to Wilson Pike. You think of this as a roadway job, but it's also a utility job. We're relocating a major gas line. We're relocating a major force line, relocating a water. We're dropping the hilltop about 15ft. And so when we do that, we have to keep all those utilities active to everybody. So it's a very, very challenging job.”
What happened
The City of Franklin, TN, is preparing for the McEwen Phase Four Roadway and Utility Project, which is currently a pre-RFP signal. This project will involve significant roadway and utility work, including the relocation of major gas and water lines, and the construction of a temporary road that will later become a multi-purpose trail.
During the recent meeting titled "FrankTalks August 2026 - Infrastructure Investment in Franklin: Funding, Updates, and What’s Next," officials discussed the complexities of the project. It's anticipated to be a challenging endeavor, requiring careful management of existing utilities while construction takes place. This project is notable as it represents the largest capital project the city has undertaken independently.
