Title: Alcoa Highway (US 129) freeway realignment project south of Knoxville
Post by: TheStranger on December 08, 2024, 09:20:50 PM
Was looking at US 129's northern terninus in AAMaps and noticed the dashed under-construction lines near McGhee-Tyson Airport.

Not sure if there's a thread on this already but did find more info on the project here:

And here:

Some of the right-of-way grading can be seen southwest of I-140

I did add a section in 2022 on the realignment of U.S. 129 to the write-up for Interstate 140 (https://www.aaroads.com/interstate-guide/i-140-tn/) on Interstate-Guide. The project includes a new systems interchange:
