That travel time has been cut down to two minutes, according to a WBBJ-TV report, and there is improved safety and access for residents and commuters along a busy section of I-40 near Jackson. Gresham Smith delivered on a critical widening and interchange reconstruction design project for the Tennessee Department of Transportation. The resulting reconstruction and intersection improvements mean the local community will be able to better manage current and future traffic demands. Opened to the public in June, the roadway project features a widening of a 2.9-mile section of I-40 from four to six lanes from west of the U.S. Route 45 Bypass to east of North Highland Avenue. Additional improvements include: New eastbound and westbound auxiliary lanes on I-40 to reduce weaving conflicts, two new bridges along I-40, intersection improvements at U.S. Route 45 Bypass and North Highland Avenue, and a reconstructed intersection at U.S. Route 45 Bypass and Casey Jones Village.
