A design-build contract valued at $54.3 million has been awarded to Nashville s Bell & Associates to construct the new Interstate 65 and Buckner Road interchange in Spring Hill, Tenn.
The
Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) did so with the expectation that the project would be completed by May 2023.
The design calls for the extension of Buckner Road from Buckner Lane to Lewisburg Pike across I-65 with a diverging diamond interchange (DDI). The city of Spring Hill kickstarted the project with a $25 million
BUILD grant from the
U.S. Department of Transportation in late 2018. The city of Spring Hill s diligence in securing this competitive grant put this interchange on the fast track, said TDOT Commissioner Clay Bright. TDOT has an aggressive schedule to meet, but the design-build contracting method allows us to tap into the innovation of the private industry and deliver the project in a much shorter timefram
