DECATUR, Tenn. — Work has begun on a major change for drivers on Highways 58 and 68 in North Meigs County, where the Tennessee Department of Transportation plans to turn the four-way stop in the Four Corners area into a roundabout.
At first, some people on a Meigs County-centric social media page questioned if plans for such a change were even true, but the state’s contract construction firm, Talley Construction Co., appeared with crews in recent days and the dirt started flying, leaving no doubt.
The cost of the contract awarded to Talley Construction on March 10 was about $2.5 million, and the project completion date is May 31, 2024, according to state transportation officials, who note Talley’s contract contains some guardrail installation on Highway 58 about 2 miles north of the roundabout near Nebo Road.
