Residents criticize Bonnaroo work
TULLAHOMA, Tenn. – A $250,000 project to widen a bridge and improve roads near the site of the annual Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival is drawing criticism from some people who live near the Manchester, Tenn., site.
The Tullahoma News reports that some who attended a public hearing on the project raised concerns that the changes would increase traffic during the Coffee County event.
Festival organizers agreed to spend the money for the work to accommodate heavier loads on a bridge along a route used for loading and unloading at the site. The project also would pave and widen two roads.
This year’s Bonnaroo festival is scheduled for June 12-15. The event, first held in 2002, has grown into a festival attended by more than 80,000 fans.
