Today's Infrastructure News

A major Interstate 440 reconstruction project has been completed ahead of schedule, Tennessee government officials recently announced.  I-440 is a 7.6-mile route that runs along the southern side of Nashville, connecting interstates 40 and 24. The $154.8 million project involved reconstructing the roadway and creating an additional lane, making the route three lanes in each direction in some areas to increase corridor efficiency. Work required deconstructing and reconstructing the entire route, which is highly trafficked.  “It is a through-route through downtown Nashville pretty much,” Steve Sellers, deputy director of state innovative delivery within the Tennessee Department of Transportation’s Construction Division, told Transport Topics. “Goods and services travel 440. I’m sure that a lot of freight moves on it.”
