Projects remain subject to oversight by the Tennessee Department of Transportation.
What changed
The Tennessee General Assembly approved, through Senate Joint Resolution 0657, the Nolensville Pike, Gallatin Pike, and Downtown corridor projects as included in the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County's Choose How You Move transportation improvement program. The program was adopted by voters on November 5, 2024, and this resolution fulfills the statutory approval requirement under Tennessee Code Annotated Section 7-56-102. The resolution passed with strong legislative support (32-0 in Senate, 92-2 in House) and received one amendment (HA0841).
This is a routine administrative approval that does not create new compliance obligations for private entities. Government transportation agencies overseeing these projects should ensure continued coordination with the Tennessee Department of Transportation as required by the resolution. The projects advance voter-mandated transportation improvements in Davidson County with no additional regulatory burden on businesses or individuals.
