Interstate 40 in Tennessee - Future

Future

The Tennessee Department of Transportation officially announced the I-40/I-81 Corridor Feasibility Study on July 27, 2007. The intent of this study is to assess deficiencies along I-40 & I-81 in Tennessee and to develop upgrade proposals for the existing corridor. This study was completed in 2008.

On January 18, 2008, the Federal Highway Administration authorized the states of Mississippi and Tennessee to extend I-69 from the I-40/TN 300 interchange in north Memphis to the I-55/I-69 interchange in Hernando, Mississippi; however, Tennessee has not yet signed the extension of the route, although Mississippi has already done so.

Famous quotes containing the word future:

    I would sum up my fear about the future in one word: boring. And that’s my one fear: that everything has happened; nothing exciting or new or interesting is ever going to happen again ... the future is just going to be a vast, conforming suburb of the soul.
    —J.G. (James Graham)

    He had been given to behold
    The race’s future trial place,
    A fresh start for the human race.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The future is ever a misted landscape, no man foreknows it, but at
    cyclical turns
    There is a change felt in the rhythm of events:
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
