Barnhart TVA Road Report - Cheatham County, TN
• Tree trimming/removal in several locations
____________________________________
OVERALL TAKEAWAY for the POSSIBLY VIABLE ROUTE (Option 2)
HIGH RISK ISSUES: • Wood Truss Bridges on RJ Corman RR • Bridges on Hwy 12 • Narrow road width on secondary county roads • Encroachment on private property
Once off Hwy 12, Barnhart believes the “Saddie Tree Route” [ this is not the correct road name, it should read “Saddle Tree”] to be the most viable route due to this route having the fewest turn radius issues. Radius improvements will be required ; however, the extent of these improvements can only be estimated once the transport configuration is identified. “The radius improvements will most likely encroach on private property requiring the cooperation and approval of the landowners.” [NOTE: Option 2 will cost many more millions of dollars to create as opposed to TVA’s original cost estimates. The proposed plant site was not vetted prior to purchase. TVA executives/decision makers have never visited the site.]
