More road work coming to Claxton
Roadwork on Edgemoor Rd. up to Raccoon Valley Rd. at Highway 25 will begin early October.
According to TDOT the initial roadwork will be fixing the shoulders in preparation for paving.
County Commissioner Chuck Fritts stated that Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) officials had been conducting land surveys in the area in preparation for the expansion.
An expected completion date is October 31.
“I do know they are getting ready to enter into the planning and engineering phase for the expansion in front of the Centennial Apartments all the way down Edgemoor to that intersection,” said Anderson County Mayor Terry Frank.
According to Frank, TDOT is planning on converting Edgemoor into a five – lane road.
There will be two lanes going both directions with a center lane running the entirety of the road.
Frank also stated that there is a possibility of a bike lane that could connect to the park where a landfill now sits.
