North Thompson Lane may be getting a new look in the coming months.

Murfreesboro is considering resurfacing 2.1 miles of the road from Northwest Broad Street to Old Fort Parkway. The project will also add 4-foot bike lanes to each side of the road and connect existing sidewalks with new.

The project will cost the city $39,210 to be reimbursed by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
