I have no problem with the ramps being added or redone on the East side of the freeway. However, the core of downtown 5PM traffic that wishes to leave downtown going toward Atlanta and Nashville will all be funneled into "ONE" entrance via a "ROUND-A-BOUT" at MLK (unless I missed an entrance ramp). I guess people can drive down and clog up the Main Street entrance ramp!!! Fourth Street will no longer have an entrance in this direction (only going over the river)!!!! Can you imagine "Riverbend" traffic trying to get out of town????!!!! Personally, I never go downtown so they can screw it up all they want. If they have to spend the money, this is the "WRONG" way to do it.......especially on the west side of the freeway between Fourth Street and MLK.
TDOT moves along with Highway 27 widening
