I-39

Glad to see some attention is finally being given to the I-65 and State Route 96 interchange in Franklin. This interchange is way beyond functionally obsolete and has been a significant issue for more than a decade. Traffic flow through the area has gotten significantly worse in the last 5 years. The stakes are very high considering the main county hospital is right there.

The worst part though is this is the first time someone is publicly acknowledging it.

Might turn into of the larger DDI projects we've seen. Not enough room to add loop ramps, too much volume for a roundabout (not to mention the fact that Tennessee is allergic to roundabouts), and over 20k vehicles on the SB off/on ramps each. Could see 5-6 lanes in the eastbound direction on the bridge. Reminds me of the interchange at I-75 and FL-56 just north of I-275 in the Tampa area.
