CARTHAGE, Tenn. (Jan. 8, 2026) – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Nashville District, begins the next phase of a bluff scaling project adjacent to Cordell Hull Dam on Monday, Jan. 12, 2026.
Crews are installing a new gate on Corps Lane, which prohibits access to the tailwater restroom and the fishing walkway at the Cordell Hull Dam tailwater area for approximately one year.
The project involves removing loose or severely eroded rock and vegetation that could pose a hazard to the public. To ensure public safety, crews are placing road signage to denote areas closed to the public.
Officials anticipate reopening the impacted areas in January 2027, or as soon as the work is complete.
The following facilities at the Right Bank Tailwater Recreation Area will remain open:
Customers who have reserved the Tailwater picnic shelter and believe this closure affects their reservation may contact the Resource Manager’s Office at 615-735-1034.
