Tennessee DOT awards largest project in its history for I-65 widening
Sept. 7, 2021
Widening to address congestion and accommodate current and future traffic demands
The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) has awarded the I-65 widening project from near State Route 25 to near State Route 109 in Robertson County to Jones Bros. LLC.
The middle Tennessee contractor had the lowest bid at $160 million, the largest in TDOT history, surpassing the $152 million I-440 Reconstruction project, according to a press release from TDOT.
The 9.68-mile widening project just north of Nashville includes a long list of improvements:
One additional travel lane in each direction (6 total lanes)
“I-65 is a major north to south corridor serving many communities,” TDOT Commissioner Clay Bright said in a statement. “This work will address congestion, improve safety and traffic operations, and accommodate current and future traffic demands.”
Highway construction will begin within the month and has a completion date of on or before December 2025. TDOT says there are financial incentives to finish early and penalties for any delays.
