ANTIOCH, Tenn. (WKRN) — One road in Antioch is now more pedestrian friendly, after a long-awaited sidewalk project is done.

More sidewalks mean safer options for people to walk or bike along Tusculum Road in South Nashville. Currently, the road is too narrow to allow for a full bike lane, so sidewalks were needed for non-vehicular traffic.

Crews just put the finishing touches on a 1-mile stretch of sidewalk near the Hickory Glade neighborhood.

The project also included 3,000 feet of storm drains to help mitigate flooding on the road.

As Nashville works to expand its transportation network, there are dozens of projects like this in the queue, like a new sidewalk at Rowan Drive, Broadmoor Drive, and Chesapeake Drive.

Many new sidewalk projects that have been scheduled are set to begin at the end of the year or in early 2026.
