Representatives with the Tennessee Department of Transportation along with state and local officials gathered Friday morning to celebrate the completion of the State Route 101/Peavine Road improvement project in the Fairfield Glade community in Cumberland County, Tennessee.
Work began on the 5.7-mile project in February 2017. During the project, most of the two-lane road was widened to five lanes consisting of two lanes in each direction with a continuous center turn lane. Additionally, the contractor installed full shoulders, curb and gutter and sidewalks throughout most of the project area. Drivers should also benefit from new traffic signals, improved signage, striping and raised pavement markers that were also included in the project.
The contractor for the $50.8 million project is Rogers Group, Inc. of Nashville, Tennessee.
Speaker of the House of Representatives Cameron Sexton (R-Crossville) and Senator Paul Bailey (R-Sparta) represent Cumberland County in the Tennessee General Assembly.
