U.S. Route 31 (US 31) is a part of the United States Numbered Highway System that runs from Spanish
|
140_1
|
Fort, Alabama, to Mackinaw City, Michigan. In the U.S. state of Tennessee, it runs concurrently
|
140_2
|
with Interstate 65 (I-65) for the first mile northward from the Tennessee state line. There US 31
|
140_3
|
parallels I-65 to downtown Nashville. At Pulaski US 31 meets the southern terminus of US 31A in
|
140_4
|
Tennessee. US 31 continues due north through Lynnville, Columbia, Spring Hill, Franklin and
|
140_5
|
Brentwood to Nashville. The route splits into US 31E and US 31W in Nashville and go into Kentucky.

Route description
|
140_7
|
The first mile of US 31 in Tennessee runs concurrently with I-65. At Exit 1 in Ardmore, it leaves
|
140_8
|
I-65 and begins an unsigned concurrency with State Route 7. US 31 then goes through Elkton before
|
140_9
|
going through mainly rural countryside until it has an intersection with US 64 on the outskirts of
|
140_10
|
Pulaski. US 31 gains the name 1st Street through Pulaski; upon leaving Pulaski US 31 meets the
|
140_11
|
southern terminus of US 31A (Grigsby Street). US 31 goes through more rural countryside on its way
|
140_12
|
to Columbia. In Columbia, US 31 picks up the names Carmack Boulevard and Garden Street; it also has
|
140_13
|
a short concurrency with US 412 Business (US 412 Bus.) and intersects the northern terminus of
|
140_14
|
US 43. After leaving Columbia, US 31 gains two designations, first it gains a Tennessee Parkway
|
140_15
|
designation from Columbia to Rosa L. Parks Boulevard in Nashville, and then it picks up the hidden
|
140_16
|
SR 6, which it keeps later as US 31E to the Tennessee state line. US 31 goes through some more
|
140_17
|
rural countryside before meeting the western terminus of SR 396 (Saturn Parkway) in Spring Hill and
|
140_18
|
gains the name 1st Street. After leaving Spring Hill, US 31 has an interchange with I-840. US 31
|
140_19
|
then continues into Franklin, where US 31 Truck makes a turn to the east onto SR 397 (Mack Hatcher
|
140_20
|
Memorial Parkway), while US 31, erroneously signed here as US 31 Business (which doesn't actually
|
140_21
|
exist and US 31 mainline is signed throughout Franklin), passes north through downtown Franklin.
|
140_22
|
US 31 then has an intersection with mainline US 431 (5th Avenue) before passing through Franklin
|
140_23
|
Square and crossing the Harpeth River to meet SR 397 and the northern end of US 31 Truck. US 31
|
140_24
|
then goes through the Nasville suburb of Brentwood as Franklin Road. While in Brentwood, US 31 has
|
140_25
|
three important interchanges with SR 441 (Moores Lane), SR 253 (Concord Road) and SR 254 (Old
|
140_26
|
Hickory Boulevard). US 31 next goes through the cities of Oak Hill and Berry Hill, where it has an
|
140_27
|
interchange with SR 155 (Thompson Lane/Woodmount Boulevard), before arriving in Nashville.
|
140_28
|
US 31 next gains the name 8th Avenue and a while later overlaps US 41 (Lafayette Street), US 70S
|
140_29
|
and US 41A. After going over Broadway (US 70 and US 431), US 31 picks up US 431, loses US 70S and
|
140_30
|
gains the name Rosa L. Parks Boulevard. US 31, US 431 and US 41 and US 41A then go around the
|
140_31
|
Tennessee State Capitol Building and lose US 41A, the Rosa L. Parks name and the Tennessee Parkway
|
140_32
|
designation. US 31, US 431 and US 41 then go over the Cumberland River on the Victory Memorial
|
140_33
|
Bridge. US 31, US 431 and US 41 then have an interchange with I-24. Immediately after the I-24
|
140_34
|
interchange, US 31E splits off (as Ellington Parkway) from US 31, US 41 US 431 and creating the
|
140_35
|
beginning of the U.S. Route 31E–US 31W split.
|
140_36
|
US 31E is called Ellington Parkway until its overlap with SR 155 (Briley Parkway) between exits 15
|
140_37
|
and 14. US 31E then changes names to Johnny Cash Parkway. US 31E then goes through Hendersonville,
|
140_38
|
picks up the name Nashville Pike and has a incomplete interchange with SR 386 (Vietnam Veterans
|
140_39
|
Parkway). US 31E then goes through Gallatin, meets the northern terminus of SR 386 and US 31E
|
140_40
|
Bypass. US 31E then goes through rural countryside, picks up US 231 at Westmoreland. US 31E and
|
140_41
|
US 231 the go through more rural countryside until the Tennessee state border (where the northern
|
140_42
|
terminus of SR 6 is). US 31E and US 231 stay concurrent into Kentucky.
|
140_43
|
As for US 31W, US 41 and US 431 they change names a total of two times, first from Spring Street to
|
140_44
|
then Dickerson Pike. US 431 leaves the congruence at Trinty Lane, leaving US 31W, US 41 to carry
|
140_45
|
on. US 31W, US 41 then have a incomplete interchange with SR 155 and I-65. US 31W, US 41 split just
|
140_46
|
north of Goodlettsville. US 31W has an interchange with I-65. US 31W the goes through rural
|
140_47
|
countryside until getting to White House. US 31W then goes through more rural countryside until
|
140_48
|
reaching the Tennessee state border, where it crosses in Kentucky.

Lake Naivasha is a freshwater lake in Kenya, outside the town of Naivasha in Nakuru County, which
|
141_1
|
lies north west of Nairobi. It is part of the Great Rift Valley. The name derives from the local
|
141_2
|
Maasai name Nai'posha, meaning "rough water" because of the sudden storms which can arise.

Location
|
141_4
|
Lake Naivasha is at the highest elevation of the Kenyan Rift valley at in a complex geological
|
141_5
|
combination of volcanic rocks and sedimentary deposits from a larger Pleistocene Era lake. Apart
|
141_6
|
from transient streams, the lake is fed by the perennial Malewa and Gilgil rivers. There is no
|
141_7
|
visible outlet, but since the lake water is relatively fresh it is assumed to have an underground
|
141_8
|
outflow.
|
141_9
|
The lake has a surface area of ,
|
141_10
|
and is surrounded by a swamp which covers an area of , but this can vary largely depending on
|
141_11
|
rainfall. It is situated at an altitude of . The lake has an average depth of , with the deepest
|
141_12
|
area being at Crescent Island, at a maximum depth of . Njorowa Gorge once formed the lake's outlet,
|
141_13
|
but it is now high above the lake and forms the entrance to Hell's Gate National Park. The town of
|
141_14
|
Naivasha (formerly East Nakuru) lies on the north-east edge of the lake.

Ecology
|
141_16
|
The lake is home to a variety of types of wildlife including over 400 different species of bird and
|
141_17
|
a sizable population of hippos. The fish community in the lake has been highly variable over time,
|
141_18
|
influenced by changes in climate, fishing effort and the introduction of invasive species. The
|
141_19
|
most recent shift in the fish population followed the accidental introduction of common carp in
|
141_20
|
2001. Nine years later, in 2010, common carp accounted for over 90% of the mass of fish caught in
|
141_21
|
the lake.

|
There are two smaller lakes in the vicinity of Lake Naivasha: Lake Oloiden and Lake Sonachi (a
|
141_23
|
green crater lake). The Crater Lake Game Sanctuary lies nearby, while the lake shore is known for
|
141_24
|
its population of European immigrants and settlers.

History

|
Between 1937 and 1950, the lake was used as a landing place for flying boats on the Imperial

141_27

Airways passenger and mail route from Southampton in Britain to South Africa. It linked Kisumu and
|
141_28
|
Nairobi. Joy Adamson, the author of Born Free, lived on the shores of the lake in the mid-1960s.

On the shores of the lake is Oserian ("Djinn Palace"), which gained notoriety in the Happy Valley
