The cost came in at $5.6 million, which was a little bit under the expected bid. This keeps the total price of Liberty Park and Clarksville Marina within the projected $28 million project costs.

Program to Provide Improved Access to Tennessee Rivers and Streams

Nashville, TN – The Tennessee Department of Transportation and the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency are excited to announce the launch of a new program designed to improve access to Tennessee’s waterways. The Park and Float Program will increase recreational opportunities across the state by providing parking areas and access points at rivers and streams along the state’s roadways. 

Under the Park and Float initiative, TDOT and TWRA established a list of candidate streams and rivers for the program. Some of the locations have been created at existing bridges, while others will be created when a TDOT bridge project is initiated on a stream or river on the Park and Float candidate waters list. Many of the newly created access areas will require minimal construction because bridge projects often have haul roads that will simply be left in place. «Read the rest of this article»
