Demonbreun Street Bikeway Design

The Demonbreun Street bikeway between the Music Row Roundabout/Buddy Killen Circle and the interstate/14th Avenue South is one of the most heavily utilized bikeways in Davidson County. Currently, the bikeway consists of buffer bike lanes on both sides of the street, in between a driving lane and a parking area beside the curb. This bikeway is frequently blocked by vehicles, forcing people biking into the driving lane to avoid these obstructions.

For several years community leaders and stakeholders have worked with Metro to identify potential changes to the Demonbreun Street bikeway. The proposed changes reflect this community participation.

Construction Activities

Contractors are completing the storm water infrastructure improvements and center island concrete work. Construction activities will be shifting from the center of the roadway to the outside lanes on Friday, July 19.

To begin the outside concrete work the project team will be implementing a traffic swap on Demonbreun Street from 14th Avenue South to the roundabout. West bound traffic will be shifted from the outside lane to the inside lane on Friday, July 19. The bike lane will be temporarily closed and moved to share the road with traffic. Temporary striping and signage will be in place throughout the duration of the traffic swap which is expected to last 6 weeks, weather permitting. The east bound lanes will not be impacted, yet.
