TDOT Works to Keep Motorists Informed

A monthly column by TDOT Commissioner Gerald Nicely
Famed English statesman Sir Francis Bacon once made the still-meaningful statement that knowledge is power. However, to gain knowledge you must have access to information. TDOT provides several ways for drivers to get traffic information, both before leaving home and while traveling in Tennessee.
TDOT SmartWay is Tennessee’s intelligent transportation system which uses advanced information technologies to improve the safety and operation of highways. An important component of TDOT SmartWay is TN511. Travelers anywhere in Tennessee can get information on road and travel conditions, incidents, and construction on state highways by simply calling 511 from land lines or cell phones. Since becoming operational in August of 2006, TN511 has logged nearly two million calls. Callers to the system can connect to 511 systems in our bordering states as well, where available. TDOT is also utilizing the social networking tool, Twitter, to send alerts to followers about roadway conditions across the state or by region. TDOT began utilizing the service in mid-May and currently has more than 1,000 followers. «Read the rest of this article»

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. Using the SmartFIX concept saved Knoxville drivers 2 ½-3 years of construction traffic tie-ups. As proof, the new stretch of I-40 will open 18 days ahead of schedule. «Read the rest of this article»
