Current and Future Improvements:
Preliminary engineering was completed in
2004 for the 4-laning the entire segment from US 51 in Ripley to MS 76 in
Brownsville. This includes both segments that are currently 2-lane expressways.
The proposed roadway cross-section will consist of four 12-foot traffic lanes
with shoulders, a 48-foot grass median, within a minimum of 250-foot of
right-of-way. Right of way for this project is scheduled for acquisition in
2006. This project will be connected to I-40 by the widening of TN 76 south of
Brownsville. TN 76 will be widened to a 5-lane boulevard with curb and gutter.
This boulevard project is currently under construction.

Current and Future Improvements:
The Huntingdon Bypass is built on a 4-lane right-of-way and is the only remaining 2-lane segment between I-40 and Union City. However, traffic counts in this area are low, so no upgrade is currently planned.

Current and Future Improvements:
An eastward extension is possible as the area gets developed.
US 43:
US-43 is an expressway in the Columbia area. The expressway travels from US-31 to south of Mount Pleasant and varies between 2 and 4 lanes.
History:
The section around Mount
Pleasant was done in the early '80s, the extension around Columbia finished by
1995 (part of this section also carries US-412). The divided section has been
extended south of SSR-243 since 1995.

TN 176 continues north to I-240. There are
two lanes from the Tennessee state line to south of Holmes Road
(this segment is being widened), 4 lanes from Holmes Road to TN
175 / Shelby Drive, and 7 lanes north of Shelby Drive. From
just south of Raines Road to Knight Arnold Road, TN 176 is a
divided highway with some driveways and no shoulders. The
interchanges promote a portion of this highway to Jersey Freeway
status, although it is not a full freeway because of an
intersection with a side road.
|
Expressway Site Recommends:
The road should be upgraded along other 4-lane stretches because the median
is wide; the road could be shifted a little so that it could carry shoulders
and access roads for businesses; this would involve a lot of spending on
MPO's part, however.
