Transportation officials expect bids to be let for the first two phases of the Highway 56 project in Warren and DeKalb Counties sometime this Fall. Construction on the nine-mile corridor is still months away and will be done in three phases instead of two.
TDOT says the first two phases of the Highway 56 project are from the Warren-DeKalb County line to Magness Road and then on to Bryant Street in Smithville along the existing route. Plans call for a new two-lane with turning lanes, which could eventually be expanded to four-lanes in the future.
A new project from near Highway 287 in Warren County to the DeKalb County line is still under review.
