Excavation on Godsey Ridge is visible near the Signal Mountain Road-U.S. Highway 27 intersection.

Countless numbers of drivers who ply Signal Mountain Road and U.S. 27, are wondering what’s going on as they drive by a widening scar beside Stringer’s Branch in Red Bank.
For months, dump trucks have been hauling away loads of dirt from the end of Godsey Ridge, the mirror image of Stringers Ridge.
What hasn’t been obvious until recently is that the ridge end is being flattened.
Philip Edmonds, who with his family owns the 13-acre ridge point, plans to excavate the point of the ridge down about 150 feet, to within about 8 to 10 feet of street level. And the family is marketing the site.
