Several TDOT SmartWay Dynamic Message Signs Activated in Chattanooga Area

 

Chattanooga, Tenn. – Drivers in the Chattanooga area may notice something different as they travel along area roads today, particularly along the I-75 corridor. TDOT has activated six of sixteen recently-installed SmartWay Dynamic Message Signs (DMS), and they will be running a test message until Friday morning. If all goes well, the six signs will go live on Friday morning and will begin displaying

real-time traffic information. The remainder of the DMSs will be activated in the next 6 - 8 weeks.
