Shelbyville commuters should prepare for traffic changes as construction continues at the Walmart Distribution Center on Frank Martin Road. Bedford County Highway Superintendent Mark Clanton is urging drivers to access Frank Martin Road from Midland Road instead of U.S. 231 for the next six months to avoid congestion.
Clanton warns that heavy truck and construction traffic will create significant delays and safety concerns near the Walmart DC entrance. Drivers who typically use Frank Martin Road as a shortcut should consider alternate routes to minimize disruptions and ensure safety.
Residents are advised to allow extra travel time and remain cautious. Officials will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as construction progresses. Stay tuned for traffic advisories to help navigate this temporary but necessary change.
