5. Why is the City building this road?

The City has been planning this road for nearly 14 years. Initially, the city planned to incur all the costs. The city was given an opportunity to apply for a grant through the Tennessee Department of Transportation, which it received, that is paying for 80% of the costs. The City’s share for construction is approximately $6.2 million. This road is the city’s northern bypass around Gallatin designed to relieve traffic through downtown on Hwy 31/Broadway/Nashville Pike.

6. I see blue flags, yellow flags, and white stakes in people’s yards or near the construction. What are they?

Blue flags mark current water lines. Yellow flags mark current gas lines. Most of the white stakes mark the edges of the construction easement.

That intersection is being improved with widening, sidewalks, and a new mast-arm traffic signal.
