https://www.constructionbriefing.com/news/keller-bags-650m-worth-of-extra-work-on-i-40-reconstruction/8132329.article Keller has secured an additional $650 million worth of work on the reconstruction of Interstate 40 (I-40) on the border between North Carolina and Tennessee. The I-40 was partially washed into the Pigeon Rover by Hurricane Helene in September 2024 and is being repaired at a cost of around $2 billion. The road is being rebuilt to be able to withstand a hurricane of a similar magnitude to Helene, after the 2024 storm washed away around one million cubic yards of rock and the highway’s eastbound lanes. The repaired highway will sit around 70 feet above the Pigeon River in a narrow section of the gorge, with some sections of the roadway 100 feet above the river. The reconstructed road will incorporate roller compacted concrete to reduce scour, rather than aggregates alone. Keller started working on the project in 2025 and the new agreement follows a series of works packages that it is already undertaking. The latest contract variation means that Keller has now secured $1 billion worth of work on the I-40 reconstruction, with 10% completed so far. The work is expected to extend over the next three to four years. ---------------------------------- https://www.wgnsradio.com/article/100343/murfreesboro-council-approves-547-million-i-840-cherry-lane-extension-deal The Murfreesboro City Council voted to advance the Cherry Lane Extension Phase 3 project, signing off on a $54.7 million agreement with the Tennessee Department of Transportation. "This project represents a significant investment in Murfreesboro's transportation network," said Murfreesboro Mayor Shane McFarland. "The Cherry Lane Extension will improve mobility in one of the city's fastest-growing areas while leveraging substantial federal and state funding to help deliver the project." Under the finalized reimbursement agreement, the City of Murfreesboro will manage the construction phase of the interchange and get reimbursed through state and federal transportation funds. Out of the estimated $54.72 million total cost, federal sources provide roughly $31.4 million, state funding covers $1.45 million, and the City provides $21.27 million. The local share includes a $14.5 million construction contribution. Specific federal and state funding sources include the Surface Transportation Block Grant, the National Highway Performance Program, and a $14.5 million award from TDOT's State Partnership Program through the Transportation Modernization Act. The entire Cherry Lane Phase 3 corridor spans roughly 2.4 miles from Sulphur Springs Road to Northwest Broad Street. It is split into three specific construction phases: Phase 3A connects the new I-840 interchange to Sulphur Springs Road, Phase 3B covers the interchange itself, and Phase 3C links the interchange to Broad Street. When finished, the roadway will feature a 100-foot right-of-way with five 12-foot travel lanes including a center turn lane, two-foot curb and gutters, five-foot grass strips, a five-foot sidewalk, and a ten-foot multi-use path. The interchange build requires a two-span bridge over the West Fork Stones River and floodplain for Cherry Lane over I-840. Council members also approved Amendment No. 4 to the design contract with HMB Professional Engineers, LLC, formerly Wiser Consultants, LLC. The firm has handled engineering design services for the Cherry Lane Phase 3 corridor between Northwest Broad Street and Sulphur Springs Road. The amendment adds $195,772 to cover additional engineering, updates to right-of-way documentation, stormwater permitting, utility coordination, geotechnical work, traffic control plan updates, and environmental support for the National Environmental Policy Act. It also covers the resolution of review comments from TDOT and the Federal Highway Administration. The amendment brings the total design contract from $2,774,986 to $2,970,757. Federal funds will cover 80 percent of the amendment, with the remaining 20 percent local match coming out of the City's Capital Improvements Program. The overall Cherry Lane project has been a long-term goal included in the City's 2040 Major Transportation Plan. Phase 1 near Siegel Park opened in late 2005. Once Phase 2 from Sulphur Springs Road to existing Cherry Lane and Phase 3 are completely built out, Cherry Lane will fully connect Memorial Boulevard directly to Northwest Broad Street while providing a brand-new access point to Interstate 840. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Region : Region 3 County : Rutherford As of July 21, 2026, the project is in Final Planning status.
