County scurries to place signs on new road
New road 3
The new four-lane to Woodbury is being praised as a time saver, but criticized for its lack of street signs.
Motorists on New Nashville Highway will soon get a sense of direction as the county hopes to begin putting up road signs in about a week.“We have just ordered the signs and asked for them ASAP,” said Road Superintendent Levie Glenn, noting he did not realize the contractor would not be putting up the signs. “I started getting calls from citizens once the road opened asking about road signs. We weren’t aware we were supposed to be responsible for the street signs until after the road opened.”Motorists who have traveled the 12.9-mile stretch of four-lane highway that links Newtown to the top of Woodbury Mountain have noticed the absence of signs with road names.
