NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Tennessee Department of Transportation is reopening the public comment period for the proposed I-24 Southeast Choice Lanes project from November 5–19, 2025.
The plan would add new, optional Choice Lanes between Nashville and Murfreesboro, allowing drivers to pay a user fee for faster travel times. TDOT officials said the extension comes after strong public interest and recent project updates.
While many residents support efforts to ease I-24 congestion, some have raised concerns about funding. TDOT officials said the project is expected to be privately financed through a public-private partnership.
Comments can be submitted through TDOT’s virtual public meeting on the project website starting November 5 .
