The long - awaited re - paving of Poplar/Highway 57 from just west of Collierville - Arlington to Poplar View Parkway will begin this spring . The project was delayed due to the replacement of the water line under the road which started in September of 2020 and was completed during the summer of 2022 .
Standard Construction won the contract for this project on 12/19/2023 . They will be covering the 2 . 5 miles with 5700 tons of asphalt and placing around 1000 pavement markers . The traffic signal at Byhalia and Poplar will get minor repairs as well . Because Poplar is a state highway , the Tennessee Department of Transportation ( TDOT ) is paying the $2 . 2 million price tag for the paving . The work should be completed by July 31 , 2024 .
The work will follow the tentative schedule below , pending weather and other scheduling conflicts:
First week of March – Placement of traffic control . Workers will keep one lane of Poplar open for the duration of the project .
Mid - March through the first week of May – Rebuilding of ADA ( American Disabilities Act ) ramps .
Mid - May through the end of the month – Patching of potholes and other defective spots .
June 1 - 30th – Milling of existing surface and installation of new asphalt including temporary striping .
