The City is responsible for the next phase of construction on Winchester Road. This phase contains 2.25 miles of new five-lane roadway to connect to the recently completed portion constructed by the County. The right-of-way acquisition schedule continues to change due to new development/ownership along this growth corridor. Any changes to properties within this area require new legal descriptions and appraisals. Acquisition should be complete by summer 2025. Utility relocations will begin, and construction will start immediately after. The project is anticipated to take 18-24 months to complete construction. Once complete, Winchester Road will be five lanes for approximately nine (9) miles from Pulaski Pike to Bell Factory Road.
