Now, TDOT will need to prepare to expand their section of I-75 to six lanes, otherwise it's going to be like I-65 before TDOT got their act together to widen their portion of interstate...

Don't hold your breath. Even just adding a third lane for southbound (uphill) traffic on the Pine Mountain crossing south of Jellico would cost a fortune.

Glad to see the next section of I-75 widening is underway. That first mile south of exit 29 is going to be the trickiest part of this project, as there is a pair of bridges that need widened and a section of cuts that will likely need widened too, unless a realignment can fit 3 lanes through the existing cuts. I've been looking at that little section for years when driving by wondering exactly how they'll go about it when the time comes.

The rest of this project segment from the end of these cuts down past exit 25 should be pretty smooth sailing, with the new lanes going in the median using KY's standard widening process.
