The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) invites residents, businesses, and stakeholders to attend a public informational meeting regarding the proposed SR 299 interchange improvements at Interstate 40 in Cumberland County. The meeting will provide an opportunity for community members to learn about the project, review proposed improvements, and offer feedback.

The proposed project is designed to improve traffic flow, increase roadway capacity, and enhance safety at the SR 299/I-40 interchange, a key gateway for residents, businesses, and travelers in the area. Planned improvements include widening SR 299 from its existing two-lane section to a five-lane roadway north of Pig Path Road, replacing the existing bridge with a new five-lane signalized structure, and improving both eastbound and westbound I-40 ramps.

The meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 10, 2026

Time: 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. CST (6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. EST)

Location: Crab Orchard Elementary School

240 School Road

Crab Orchard, TN 37723

The meeting will be conducted in an open-house format, allowing attendees to arrive at any time during the two-hour event. Community members will be able to review project displays, exhibits, maps, and preliminary plans while speaking directly with TDOT staff and project team members. A continuous presentation will be available throughout the meeting. The format provides attendees greater flexibility and encourages one-on-one discussions about the project.

Members of the public are encouraged to attend and share comments regarding the proposed improvements. Feedback received during the meeting will help inform the project's ongoing development and next steps.
