TDoT commissioner Gearld Nicely
Admittedly, it was a radical idea – shut down a major interstate through the heart of a city for 14 months. Other states had done total interstate closures, but none for this duration. In just a few days, we will reopen a safer, more modern and totally redesigned Interstate 40 in downtown Knoxville. SmartFIX40 is racing to an early finish.
Before we talk about the finish, let’s go back to the beginning. SmartFIX is an accelerated construction process. It involves closing a roadway to allow around-the-clock work, uninterrupted by traffic, and can dramatically reduce the time it takes to complete a project.

April 24, 2009 |
(Nashville) – Tennessee Department of Transportation crews will be working on three separate bridge repair projects along Interstate 40 this weekend in Fayette, Haywood and Madison Counties which will require lane closures on I-40.
In Fayette County, crews will work on a bridge repair project on State Route 222 over Interstate 40 at Exit 42. Crews will close I-40 East and West at mm 42 beginning at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, April 24 through 5:00 a.m. Monday, April 27 to remove forms on the bridge deck on the SR222 bridge. I-40 traffic will be detoured onto ramps at Exit 42 and back onto I-40. The detour will be signed and THP will assist with traffic control. The SR222 bridge will also be closed to traffic at this time.
The estimated completion date of the project is on or before May 31, 2009.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes around this area such as US70 or US64. «Read the rest of this article»
