This project extends 0.64 mile from First Ave. to SR-16 in Tullahoma, Coffee County. The typical section includes five (5) 11-ft lanes with curbs, gutters, and sidewalks. The project also includes the replacement of the existing bridge over North Fork Rock Creek and the Rock Creek Greenway. The existing structure is a 4-span, 52-ft wide, 156-ft long structure. The proposed bridge is a 2-span, 80-ft wide, 169.5-ft long structure. The proposed structure will be over-widened by 6 feet to the south to allow for phase construction of the bridge.

Challenges to the project include utilities, drainage, historic properties, the Rock Creek Greenway, and maintenance of traffic in a tight urban condition.

Several overhead and underground utilities run along the corridor and the existing bridge. Overhead utilities also cross the roadway along the eastern bridge abutment. Several large drainage pipes and structures are also proposed along the roadway and near the bridge and greenway.

Two historical properties have been identified on the project: the Oakwood Cemetery (Tract 36) and the Coca-Cola building (Tract 33). The proposed impacts to these properties have both been coordinated with the State Historic Preservation Office, but any changes to the impacts would require additional coordination.

The Rock Creek Greenway must remain open and operational at all times during construction. A detour plan has been developed which will connect the greenway to the existing sidewalk on SR-55, cross the state route, and tie back to the greenway on the other side of the bridge.
