TDOT Holding Pop-up Events to Discuss Blue Oval Road Project

The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) is hosting a series of neighborhood pop-up events in Haywood, Tipton, and Fayette Counties to gather feedback and comments about the proposed project for the State Route 194 Extension / Exit 39 interchange.

The purpose of the project is to accommodate ongoing development in the region, to improve traffic operational efficiency, and offer improved connections to the Memphis Regional Megasite and surrounding area.

Participants can stop by and informally give comments and speak with members of the TDOT project team responsible for the development of Environmental Assessment.

TDOT will be set up under a tent near the front entrance at each pop-up location.

Upcoming Fayette County pop-up locations include:

Wednesday, November 9, 2022, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Ace Hardware – 7860 US-64, Oakland, Tennessee 38060

Thursday, November 10, 2022, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Flag Football/Oakland Elementary School, 14925 TN-194, Oakland, Tennessee 38060
