The Memphis MPO recently approved its Priority List from its November 15 Agenda:



I found it interesting that the I-55/ Crump Boulevard project, #2 on the list, needs a construction fund.

If anyone was concerned, the error was noted and corrected:

Mr. B.J. Page moved to adopt the TDOT Project Priority List Ranking as presented; Mr. James Hay seconded the motion, and the motion carried without dissent.
COMMENTS/DISCUSSION:
 Dr. Gerrit Verschuur made a request to correct the spelling of the word Federal.

I missed this back in November. TDOT is looking at ways to rebuild the I-24/75 junction in Chattanooga. Other improvements include:

- Ramp widening at East Brainerd Road
- Widening I-75 between Collegedale and Cleveland to six lanes
- Widening I-75 between the Georgia State Line and I-24 to eight lanes
- Building a Chattanooga bypass

I do agree about a possible road meet for Chattanooga but I think the US 27 construction is on hold for now, maybe perhaps next fall, I have bee seriously considering hosting a meet down there since I did Memphis without a hitch and Chattanooga is even closer to me ( 2 hours as apposed to 3 hours from Memphis)

What's the work on hold for?

This press release indicates that TDOT Commissioner Schroer will announce future plans for the US 27 corridor in Hamilton County during an April 16 on-site visit.

This article reports that widening and reworking of US 27 in downtown Chattanooga is budgeted for 2015, and that the project had been stalled by issues related to the Fourth Street interchange:

TDOT Commissioner John Schroer announced Tuesday that work will proceed on the $80 million widening and reworking of U.S. 27 downtown and the widening of Olgiati Bridge as soon as the current major project On 27 north of the bridge is complete.
The project is budgeted for construction in 2015, he said at a press conference on Stringer's Ridge.
The project had been stalled after changes were suggested at a RiverCity Company-sponsored forum - especially related to the Fourth Street interchange.
Jennifer Flynn of TDOT said Fourth Street will remain as designed, but there will be a signal at MLK Boulevard instead of a roundabout that had been recommended by some city officials.

TDOT has issued a press release announcing TDOT's FY 2014-2016 Three Year Plan.
