TDOT completes Bridge Project at Exit 8 on Interstate 24 in Montgomery County

Tennessee Department of Transportation - TDOTNashville, TN – The Tennessee Department of Transportation says all roadwork has wrapped up on the State Route 237 widening and I-24 interchange modification project. The newly widened SR 237 is five lanes from I-24 to International Boulevard.

The roadway has dedicated turn lanes and traffic signals for vehicles entering and exiting the interstate or the proposed industrial development site of Hankook Tire.

Improvements to the I-24 interchange include ramp reconstruction and two new bridges over I-24. The project cost is approximately $12.9 million.

There is still some dirt work remaining. Once work is completed crews can apply the final thermoplastic striping.

Construction is still underway on the new Park & Ride facility site at Exit 11 (SR 76 / Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway) and it is expected to be completed this fall.

Riders will continue to use the current Park & Ride facility at Exit 8 until the new site is finished.

The project started construction in October 2014.
