Overview

The project is a road extension to support development of a 350,000 SF cold storage facility in Franklin. The City of Franklin will build and maintain the road. Construction should be complete in early 2024. Current site access is difficult for trucks and will negatively impact residents when the facility is operational. The current layout of Graham Road consists of a severe 90 degree turn, resulting in issues with traffic, access, and safety. The extension will allow traffic to go straight on Graham Road and permit an appropriate entrance to the site. The project detail is a two lane extension of Graham Road north to Earlywood Drive with shoulders, passing blisters, and accel/decel lanes. The project also supports improved traffic flow for the surrounding industrial district. The READI funds will be used for construction activities, with some construction funding from public and private sources and soft costs being covered by public and private funds.
