Transportation

Airports and Freeways:

When traveling to Franklin, the closest airport is Nashville International Airport (BNA).  The airport is about thirty minutes away.  A quick jump on I-65 transports you to mellow Franklin while also keeping you connected to the buzz of Nashville, the Music City.  I-440 also provides an alternate route into Nashville.  It is worth noting that driving in Tennessee is NOTHING like driving in Los Angeles!  People are polite to each other and allow right of ways and follow traffic laws diligently.  Another amazing fact is that I don’t think I have ever experienced traffic while driving in Tennessee!  I guess when people aren’t in as much of a rush there isn’t any need for rude or reckless driving.

Franklin Local Street Plan:

This plan was developed by the city of Franklin to maximize street interconnectivity.  It is the hope that the plan will aid the functionality if the street network, increase accessibility, and reduce the average trip length and travel time.
