 |
|
I just e-mailed TNDOT the other day about the signing of the approved segment of I-69 and I got an e-mail response back today.
The person I talked to said the following:
| Quote: | | I spoke with the Region 4 Traffic Engineering Office and they plan to have the signs up by the end of the month. |
So, I-69 signs should be appearing on I-55/I-240/I-40 up to TN-300 from the MS/TN State Line by the end of the month. |

| Ok, signs should be going up now, but I haven't heard anything new yet. So, if anybody is traveling in that area, please, if any signs or BGS's are up, get pictures. I'd appreciate it. |

| I saw none at all on I-55 or I-240 when I was there 12 days ago. |

Alright, we got ourselves a new interstate. I just did an e-mail chat with Steve Chipman in TDOT. He happens to be the Project Manager on I-69 segments SIU 8 and SIU 9. He has told me that they now have I-69 posted as a full Interstate from I-55/I-69 @ the Mississippi boarder up to I-40 along I-55/I-240. Above I-240 along I-40, it is posted as a Future Interstate.
Tim, I will send you the tweaked files in this area in a few minutes so they can be posted on the site with a few others I have already done in other states.  |

| Hey Tim. Looks like I screwed up the TN I-69 file a tad. I forgot to add the "(240)" text after the 31 and 32 labels. Can you update the online copy with that tweak? |

Tim, I've seen some new recent pictures and it seems that TN just posted it as a Future Interstate....... Even with the FHWA approval to post it as a true Interstate......
So, what do you think I should do here? Should I just tweak the I-69 Future Memphis file and extend it down to the state line till TDOT gets off their behinds and officially extends it? Or leave both files as is? |

So I-69 never entered TN, only FI-69 did? The TDOT guy was wrong?
BTW, you can just bump a thread that died too early. |

Well, I know I can bump a thread.  But I thought a PM would be better to send to you.
And yes, it does seem that the TDOT guy was wrong.  |

| I went to Memphis last weekend. The I-69 signage stops at the TN line; TDOT has no I-69 signage. I don't recall seeing any Future I-69 signage along I-55. I didn't travel onto the north-south leg of I-240. |

| It looks like TN I-69 should be merged into the FI-69 route for now. |
