Remember my post about a year ago saying about the SmartFIX 40, where about a mile or so was to be closed on I-40 in Knoxville. Well, it is set to reopen soon. Less than one month. They are even reopening it about 18 days earlier then first projected when they started laster year, May 1, 2008. June 12, 2009, they are set to reopen the interstate. That means you won’t have to detour through I-640. I hope this fixes the congestion and such for rush hour traffic. But, we all know that when one construction gets done, another one will start within a mile or so from it. So where will that be? LMAO So this is good news for Downtown Knoxville goers.

Not much longer and a section of Interstate 40 through Knoxville, TN will be closed. This closure happens May 1, 2008. The section between James White Parkway and Hall of Fame Drive (Exits 388A to 389). Yes, it is a small section, but it is very close to downtown! This will be a headache, because it will be closed for 14 months starting this May. As alternative routes you can use I-640 or I-275 to by pass this closure of I-40. SmartFIX40 as they call it. You can find more information at: http://www.smartfix40.com/. You can even see a rendering of what it will look like when it is completed, which is scheduled for July 2009. (14 Months).
I hope that when they get this all fixed it will be a lot better, but you know how construction goes. Once they complete this section, they will move a few miles down the interstate and do another one. Never ending!
