TDOT Announces Statewide “Projects Tour”
Tuesday, June 21, 2011 | 10:21am
Nashville, TN – Tennessee Department of Transportation Commissioner John Schroer announces his plans for week-long tours of major construction projects across the state. Commissioner Schroer will be traveling on a bus along with elected officials and transportation officials to each of the four TDOT regions in separate tours. They will be viewing projects currently underway and those listed on the department’s “Three Year Program” that was released in April. In addition, the Commissioner will host an Open House in each region to meet the public.
“It is a priority of mine to see firsthand the investments we are making in transportation projects across the state,” said Commissioner Schroer. “These “viewing tours” will also give us the opportunity to share valuable information about these projects with our elected officials and engage the public along the way.”
The media is encouraged to attend the visits in each region. Individual agendas for each region are forthcoming.
The “TDOT Summer Projects Tour” schedule is as follows:
June 28-July 1: REGION 2 (based in Chattanooga)
August 8-12: REGION 4 (based in Jackson)
September 12-16: REGION 3 (based in Nashville)
September 26-30: REGION 1 (based in Knoxville)
