Barnhart TVA Road Report - Cheatham County, TN
A Synopsis of the Full BARNHART TVA Road Study
Option 1 – 11 Miles:
Highway 12 to Tennessee Waltz Parkway and around to Highway 12 again. Highway 12 north to Macon Wall Road , then south on Lockertsville Road to the proposed site. Study’s Primary Concerns: • Narrow road width of Macon Wall and Lockertsville Roads (road is 16’ wide, dual lane transporters minimum width is 16’); • Tight turns (“shows that the required turn radius improvements will certainly encroach on private property…”); • Tree trimming/remova l in several locations
Option 2 – 11+ Miles (only possibly viable route as noted by the study author) :
Highway 12 to Tennessee Waltz Parkway and around to Highway 12 again. Highway 12 north to Saddle Tree Road , then east on Lockertsville Road to the proposed site. • Narrow road width of Lockertsville Road (road is 16’ wide, dual lane transporters minimum width is 16’); • Tight turns – fewer turn radius issues, but several will be required. All would encroach on private property and will require approvals from landowners and Cheatham County. • Extensive tree trimming/removal in several locations.
Option 3 (not viable or likely, cost prohibitive) :
Highway 12 to Tennessee Waltz Parkway and around to Highway 12 again. Highway 12 north to Lockertsville Road.
This route is identified as the most problematic due to two narrow old bridges, the most turn improvements and tree trimming, and significant grade changes; • Narrow road width of Lockertsville Road (road is 16’ wide, dual lane transporters minimum width is 16’); • Tight turns (“ shows that the required turn radius improvements will certainly encroach on private property… ”);
