Bump In The Road At Shoppes At Eagle Point Project

There’s a bump in the road at the Shoppes at Eagle Point project. Literally.

Folks driving along Cookeville’s Interstate Drive may notice a bump that’s formed in the roadway across from Ruby Tuesday’s and near Chick-Fil-A.

Cookeville Public Works Director Greg Brown said the bump formed after some road work performed by the contractor or subcontractor for the new retail development.

“They were boring under Interstate Drive and probably putting in a conduit to run the lines in for the traffic signal,” Brown said. “They were a little to shallow and it caused the hump in the road.”

Brown said the contractor will be responsible for repairing the bump and work should begin in the near future.

The contractor has placed signs at the location warning drivers of the bump in the road.
