Walton Ferry/Old Shackle Realignment and Widening Project

The City of Hendersonville, TN, held a meeting on January 27, 2025, to discuss the Walton Ferry/Old Shackle Realignment and Widening Project. The Rogers Group was awarded the construction contract valued at over $21 million. The project involves widening Walton Ferry Road and Old Shackle Island Road, adding bike lanes and sidewalks, and realigning a key intersection on State Route 6 to improve traffic flow and safety. Construction is scheduled to begin in February 2025 with an estimated completion in spring or summer 2027. The city emphasized ongoing utility coordination, property acquisitions, and traffic impacts during construction, including lane closures and nighttime work. A dedicated project website will provide weekly updates to keep the public informed.
