We were thrilled to celebrate the single-largest transportation investment in Tennessee's history with our Federal, State, and local partners on July 18 in Memphis! The America’s River Crossing over the Mississippi River bridge replacement project will transform our infrastructure for generations to come by enhancing safety, efficiency, resiliency, and multimodal connectivity. The nearly $400 million grant is part of an announcement of more than $5 billion in Large Bridge Project awards through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) competitive Bridge Investment Program. Deputy Governor and Tennessee Department of Transportation Commissioner Butch Eley expressed his gratitude for the project, “This landmark investment would not have happened without the bold leadership of Governor Lee and the Tennessee General Assembly, and their historic allocation of a $3 billion General Fund investment which allowed TDOT to leverage federal and peer-state funding. This investment would also not have happened without the extraordinary support from our Tennessee Congressional delegation.” #BuildWithUs #BuildingBridges #AmericasRiverCrossing
