McEwen Drive

Project Description

The City of Brentwood is collaborating with the City of Franklin on the McEwen Drive extension project, as it impacts both municipalities. This project involves the proposed extension of McEwen Drive in Franklin from Wilson Pike to the Taramore subdivision. Brentwood will later extend the road through the Taramore subdivision.

The preliminary engineering design is nearing completion, and once finished, right-of-way acquisition is expected Summer 2025. Initial construction activities is expected to proceed concurrently with the ongoing McEwen Phase 4 roadway improvements being constructed by the City of Franklin. These improvements extend from east of the roundabout at Cool Springs Boulevard/Oxford Glen Drive to Wilson Pike (SR-252). The designed road will be a median-divided, 4-lane roadway with left-turn lanes as needed. The project includes curb and gutter, sidewalk, a multi-use path, and street lighting. Anticipated construction is Fall 2026.

The extension of McEwen Drive has been identified as a priority in the Brentwood 2030 Plan. Once completed, this roadway section will provide a direct link from the new I-65 interchange to the Taramore subdivision. The extension also opens the potential for further connectivity to Pleasant Hill Road, Clovercroft Road, and eventually Nolensville, Smyrna, and I-24. This would offer an alternative east/west route for traffic from Nolensville and Smyrna to the Cool Springs area, helping to alleviate congestion on Brentwood streets such as Concord Road, Crockett Road, Moores Lane, and Split Log Road.
