NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Tennessee Department of Transportation will host two open-house meetings to talk about the I-24 Choice Lanes project.
The first meeting will be on September 8 from 12:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Nashville Public Library Pruitt Branch, with the second meeting taking place on September 9 from 12:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Smyrna Event Center.
According to TDOT, they will share details about the proposal, answer questions, and discuss what stakeholders can expect as the project advances.
The $24.8 billion proposal represents the largest public-private partnership investment for an interstate Choice Lanes project in the United States, according to TDOT.
These meetings come after TDOT announced that DriveTN will be the company they partner with for the project.
The project has faced criticism, as some South Nashville residents fear they could lose their homes.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
