2009 Map Features New, Easier to Read Design
NASHVILLE - The official 2009 Tennessee Transportation Map is now available to assist travelers in their planning efforts. This year’s state map has been totally redesigned to feature larger, easier to read information and interstate mile and exit markers listed right on the map. The 2009 map includes the same important information about TDOT’s SmartFIX40 accelerated construction project in Knoxville, a listing of Tennessee’s Biofuel Green Island Corridors, information about emergency reference markers, and Tennessee 511 as in years past, but is produced on a larger scale making it easier to read.
We believe motorists will find the new map to be a big improvement,” said TDOT Commissioner Gerald Nicely. “The new 2009 map is designed on a larger scale which makes it much easier to read, but we were able to retain the same size of the overall map which meant no extra cost went into the publication.”
The state map is available on the TDOT web site at www.tn.gov/tdot/maps.htm.
“The map is a service TDOT is pleased to provide to the public each year,” said Judy Steele, Director of TDOT’s Community Relations Division. “The map is free and available at welcome centers and rest areas across the state.”
Pre-printed maps are also available and can be ordered from TDOT online at www.tn.gov/tdot/MapOrder/maporder.htm or by mailing a request to:

The Official 2009 Tennessee Transportation Map is a joint effort between TDOT and the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development.
