East Main Bridge Replacement Set for 2028

Franklin’s historic East Main Street bridge, a century-old landmark, is getting a full replacement—set to finish by July 2028. Expect one lane in each direction starting this summer, with sidewalks fully closed in year two. Though still safe for school buses and daily traffic, this proactive upgrade aims to prevent future emergencies, replacing the six-span structure with a four-span design to improve flood flow. With downtown already buzzing from the Margin District and new city hall projects, TDOT is coordinating to minimize chaos. Drivers: plan ahead and check traffic updates to dodge delays.
