Article says it's purpose is to take traffic off the Betsy Pack Dr portion of US 41 in Jasper. Article also mentions they really want to take truck traffic off Betsy Pack Dr.
I'm wondering if they will give it a state highway number, and maybe make it TRUCK US 41, or re-route US 41 onto it.

Looks like a realignment of SR 150 (US 41): http://www.tn.gov/assets/entities/tdot/attachments/Const_August2015_Notice.pdf
"The grading, drainage, paving, construction of concrete box culverts and a slab bridge on U.S. 41 (S.R. 150) from existing S.R. 150 to S.R. 28 north of Jasper."

Yet another re-route of US 41 in this area.
Originall Route: Kimball-Jasper on US 64/72, up Besty Pack (then also SR 27) to Chattanooga
First Re-Route: Moved to current route Jasper to Chattanooga.
Second Reroute: Moved from I-24/US 64/ US 64 72 to SR 150 from Monteagle to Jasper
This road is now open, and is on GSV. Google has it tagged as "unnamed road", so I submitted a request to have it changed to "US 41"

Was the reroute submitted to AASHTO?
