Campbell Station Rd Improvements
Campbell Station Road north of the interstate is a winding and curvy road. I'm not clear how it can be widened, although it needs to be made safer. Left turn lanes and decel lanes appropriately located would help.
I-40/I-75/Watt Rd Interchange
Simply improving the efficiency of this interchange would benefit the transportation network in the Farragut, southwest Knox County and eastern Loudon County area. Drivers often get stuck in the truck traffic in this area. Allowing for room for the trucks to get up to speed in a separate lane would help with safety, efficiency and capacity.
Northshore Dr (SR-332)
Northshore lacks left turn lanes and decel lanes for many of the neighborhoods that access it. This can make for a very frustrating commute along this stretch and as a result pushes many drivers to drive through Farragut causing unnecessary congestion there. Improving Northshore's flow of traffic would help the transportation network throughout the area. In addition providing bike/ped facilities would be an incredible addition to this area.
Northshore Dr (SR-332)
This road does not need to be widened to accommadate cyclists and pedestrians. It will take too much land away from propery owners. Not every road needs to be constructed for cyclist. This road is one of them.
Strawberry Plains Pike Improvements
Good idea if we have 40 mil available
Strawberry Plains Pike Improvements
Probably going to be necessary with Amazon center going there.
Emory Rd (SR-131)
Absolutely necessary. Should be top line project
Gov John Sevier Hwy (SR-168)
Good idea. There is a lot of truck traffic on this roadway, and I would expect that to increase.
Northshore Dr (SR-332)
Yes! This is needed. Much recent traffic increase on this roadway lined with residential neighborhoods. Especially like making this more bicycle & pedestrian-friendly.
Gov John Sevier Hwy (SR-168)
No. Not a priority
Gov John Sevier Hwy (SR-168)
Heaavily travelled
Gov John Sevier Hwy (SR-168)
This is well overdue for this major road.
Gibbs Schools Pedestrian Bridge
Improved access to schools for students, staff, and community members.
Gibbs Schools Pedestrian Bridge
A safe pedestrian crossing is needed to connect these schools that are located on a busy, fast road
Gov John Sevier Hwy (SR-168)
Example of a useful and needed project !
I-40/I-75/Watt Rd Interchange
There is often an accident just past Watt Rd on I-40E.
Northshore Dr (SR-332)
Let's get on with it, especially in the Rocky Hill area. Lengthening the existing turn lane would make a major difference, especially during morning and afternoon rush hours.
Northshore Dr (SR-332)
need is for separated bike and ped paths on both sides of road. I would as the powers that be, to go ride their or someones bike on northshore dr now. No bike lane is safe, or pleasant to almost everyone when traffic is moving at 45 to 60 mph.
Northshore Dr (SR-332)
This stretch of highway mostly without shoulders is dangerous for pedestrians and drivers alike. Implementing bike/pedestrian accommodation will be great!
Tazewell Pike and Fairview Road Intersection
Intersection design should prioritize safety of pedestrian crossings
Oak Ridge Hwy (SR-62)
Much needed fix due to the increase of houses in the area. Also need to look at the other 2 lane roads in the area and improve traffic flow to them as well
Pellissippi Pkwy (SR-162)
Much needed due to added traffic with the booming area of Hardin valley and Karns.
Gibbs Schools Pedestrian Bridge
This is NEEDED, especially for kids who walk to school. Even better would be sidewalks between all 3 schools.
Gibbs Schools Pedestrian Bridge
Also need additional sidewalks to connect neighborhoods in the PRZ for each school to the school campuses.
Gov John Sevier Hwy (SR-168)
Long overdue due to growth in the area. I would think 4 lanes with a center turn lane would be an even better choice since this area is becoming less and less rural and more city-like.
Intersection Improvement at Beaver Ridge Road and West Emory Road
Due to the large number of current and in construction neighborhoods near this intersection and it's very close proximity to the elementary school, kt would be hugely helpful to include sidewalks in this intersection expansion.
Tazewell Pike and Fairview Road Intersection
Fairview should also be widened or otherwise improved from Tazewell Pike to E Emory to support additional traffic already using the road after the Thompson School realignment.
Campbell Station Re-Alignment
Need a safer means between Farragut to Hardin Valley.
Gibbs Schools Pedestrian Bridge
There should be bike routes throughout the Gibs community.
Gibbs Schools Pedestrian Bridge
This would be wonderful for students!
Northshore Dr (SR-332)
Need pedestrian facilities on Northshore
Northshore Dr (SR-332)
Very narrow with considerable roadway drop off.
Northshore Dr (SR-332)
Need pedestrian facilities on nearshore
Northshore Drive (County Road Portion)
This section of roadway is narrow and with considerable pavement drop-off (no shoulder). Traffic levels have increased over the years.
Pellissippi Pkwy (SR-162)
This area must be addressed to support the regions goals for growth and support the exploding population.
Tazewell Pike and Fairview Road Intersection
There are wrecks here all the time! It is extremely dangerous.
Pellissippi Pkwy (SR-162)
This is a great plan for a highly traversed road. Also expanding to allow for multi use is great since I have heard there is potential for greenway applications from the Kingston Pike area to Oak Ridge.
Emory Rd (SR-131)
Please do no make it a 5 lane section like the existing is through Powell. People drive way to fast and it is unsafe. Look at a possible 3 lane section, roundabouts and signals.
I-75 at Emory Rd (SR-131) Interchange
Yes Please!!
Northshore Dr (SR-332)
My only concern with adding bicycle lanes is that drivers are frequently exceeding the posted limit on this stretch of Northshore.
Northshore Drive (County Road Portion)
It's hard to have an opinion on this project when the description only lists "provide better connectivity". Please list the proposed improvements in more detail.
Emory Rd (SR-131)
Yes, yes, and yes. This is desperately needed. I live in Gibbs and my entire extended family lives in Halls, so road is traveled every day.
Gibbs Schools Pedestrian Bridge
I have personally seen video of children trying to cross the street to get to the other school, and it is scary and concerning. Pedestrian bridge is needed.
Gov John Sevier Hwy (SR-168)
Increased capacity on this roadway should help alleviate traffic backups during rush hour.
Knox County Advanced Traffic Management System - Phase II
Halls is continuing to grow and needs new infrastructure to allow for traffic.
Tazewell Pike and Fairview Road Intersection
I live half a mile from this intersection. It's incredibly dangerous.
Lovell Rd Widening (SR-131)
I support this. It is part of the larger Schaad Road project which will allow for healthy growth in the area.
Pellissippi Pkwy (SR-162)
long over due, The are is not safe now
Tazewell Pike and Fairview Road Intersection
This is very important. The traffic through this road is highly dangerous without these improvements.
Intersection Improvement at Beaver Ridge Road and West Emory Road
That entire strip of road can get a little dangerous, so I think it could be a great improvement!
I-75 Widening
would a new knoxville bypass not help reduce congestion in this area?
Northshore Drive (County Road Portion)
Add a sidewalk but don't expand the road into residential areas
Tazewell Pike and Fairview Road Intersection
Tazewell Pk definitely benefits from turn lanes at busy intersections!
Intersection Improvement at Beaver Ridge Road and West Emory Road
Please consider a roundabout design at this intersection. It would help keep a steady flow of traffic and prevent severe backups.
Northshore Dr (SR-332)
The gradual grade of northshore dr makes it a perfect bike thoroughfare from rocky hill to Pellissippi. I see no downside to making this stretch more accessible
Northshore Drive (County Road Portion)
We need pedestrian and bike lanes in this area,
Strawberry Plains Pike Improvements
Don't travel this area much so I don't know much other than there is now trucking/distribution expansion there and so I suspect additional road infrastructure is needed.
Tazewell Pike and Fairview Road Intersection
This should help somewhat but these are still two-lane roads that carry a tremendous amount of traffic and the source of a lot of accidents.
Campbell Station Re-Alignment
There are no specific details to comment on for this proposed project. While the rapid development of subdivisions in the western portion of Hardin Valley undoubtedly increases the need for residents to safely access this route, care should be taken to avoid turning Pellissippi -> Hardin Valley Rd -> Campbell Station Rd -> I-40 W into a makeshift mini-'Orange Route' bypass. Campbell Station Rd should be maintained as a local, residential access road, and not be turned into a multi-lane highway.
County-wide Transportation Study (Knox)
I support more bike lanes or sharrows on roadways. Knox has done a great job on investing in mtb, but accessing the parks safely is also important. Also, emphasizing that bikes can be on the road and supporting a road cycling and commuting infrastructure would be amazing. I would also love to see a traffic ad campaign about the importance of not passing cyclists across the double yellow line on blind curves or hills. This happens to me multiple times every time I ride. Luci Olewinski
Emory Rd (SR-131)
I hope this project is still on track to be implemented in 2030. Halls is socked in now. With only Emory Road and Broadway as major corridors to downtown or west Knoxville, a morning commute to downtown can now be 50 minutes or more. Widening Emory Road is imperative, as new subdivisions and apartments are being built all the time.
Gibbs Schools Pedestrian Bridge
This is sorely needed, but we also need sidewalks and crosswalks in and around the Harbison Crossroads area. There are many subdivisions located inside the parental responsibility zone near the schools, but little or no connectivity or sidewalks so that students could walk to school.
Gov John Sevier Hwy (SR-168)
I drive on John Sevier Highway multiple times a week to and from work at the Forks of the River Industrial Park and to shopping errands and lunch running for my co-workers. I think it would be a mistake to turn any section of this road into a 4 lane for cars, if each direction had 2 lanes dedicated for vehicular traffic. My hope would be that a 4th lane's equivalent could be a half a lane added to each direction for bike traffic. My initial reaction to reading the goal of "4 lane" was that it would become a speedway with people passing each other at high speed, a la Chapman Highway. We really don't need that on scenic John Sevier Highway. The current pace of 45-50-ish miles per hour fits the feeling of the width of the road and the proximity to the roadside trees. Thanks for listening.
Gov John Sevier Hwy (SR-168)
There is seemingly a lot of larger trucks that use this road to get from Alcoa Highway to the industrial park around Strawberry Plains. Regularly, traffic is 15+ cars deep because of a tractor-trailer rig that is going 10 under the speed limit (35 to 40 mph). The issue is the necessary traffic signals and topography of the area as well. Having an extra lane would make this nightmare much easier to navigate.
Gov John Sevier Hwy (SR-168)
I live in Blount County and am in favor of the following projects for improving safety and growth in my area of TN, as well as increased use of Greenways:Mobility Plan Numbers: 09-231, 13-214, 13-215, 13-216, 13-218, 09-216, 09-644, 09-653, 17-202, 17-201, 18-202, 19-201, 21-100, 21-1002, 21-201, 21-204, 09-211, 09-214.
Gov John Sevier Hwy (SR-168)
I support this project. This busy road needs improvements for efficiency and safety.
Gov John Sevier Hwy (SR-168)
I support this project.? A road this heavily traveled needs to be four-laned for both efficiency and safety.
Intersection Improvement at Beaver Ridge Road and West Emory Road
Much needed improvement. I take this road nearly every day and see the increase of traffic and the safety concerns. Honestly do not know why at least a roundabout hasn't been installed. And now many large trucks are using this road and it makes it even more dangerous.
Lovell Rd Widening (SR-131)
This is needed for this area.In general, I encourage the addition of bike lanes, widened shoulders, adjacent greenways and/ or sidewalks where possible. I believe that increasing interconnectivity of greenways/sidewalks and wide (bikeable) roadways/ bridges will greatly benefit our community in both the short and long term.Thank you for reading this and considering my input.
Northshore Dr (SR-332)
Yes. Thank you for considering widening Northshore Drive. With all the building occurring off Northshore Drive, this road between Morrell and Ebenezer has become very challenging. Shared turning lanes are definitely needed to help keep traffic moving. When someone has to turn across traffic on Northshore Drive, it stops all traffic in that lane. We live off Wallace and Northshore Drive in Richmond Hills. We are forced to take Wallace to Nubbin Ridge to Morrell because there is no way we can turn east onto Northshore Drive in the morning. This road as is was fine when there were few subdivisions, but now it is not able to accommodate all the traffic. The intersection at Tools Bend and Northshore Drive has many accidents. There is also a lot of traffic near Popes Nursery. A centered shared turning lane would be extremely helpful for those wanting to turn in across traffic. This project is solely needed to help with traffic flow in this area of Knoxville.Thank you for letting me share my opinion.
Northshore Dr (SR-332)
At minimum, the addition of a shared center turn lane on this portion of Northshore Drive is long overdue! For a state roadway carrying the current level of vehicular traffic, it is more than necessary. In fact, with all the additional housing projects in the West Knoxville area between Morrell and the Pellissippi, it could be widened to 2 full lanes in each direction to help accommodate all the extra cars, school busses, and trucks in the area.
Northshore Dr (SR-332)
I commute through Northshore and the single lane each way many times is not adequate, especially when a slow car is ahead. The lack of shoulder/curb for most of Northshore makes it dangerous for any recreational activities. Lastly, adding turn lanes will help the flow of traffic, as Northshore is a busy road and left turning cars block the single lane for extended periods of time.
Northshore Dr (SR-332)
I greatly support the addition this and other access for bikers and pedestrians. In general, I encourage the addition of bike lanes, widened shoulders, adjacent greenways and/ or sidewalks where possible. I believe that increasing interconnectivity of greenways/sidewalks and wide (bikeable) roadways/ bridges will greatly benefit our community in both the short and long term.Thank you for reading this and considering my input.
Northshore Dr (SR-332)
The additional lane will help the traffic flow, as one often finds itself behind slow moving vehicles with nowhere to go. Northshore is a busy road, and left turning cares block the single lane more often than expected. Lastly, the lack of curb and shoulder makes it dangerous for recreational activities.
Oak Ridge Hwy (SR-62)

Pellissippi Pkwy (SR-162)
There's a bottleneck after crossing the I-40 overpass heading towards Oak Ridge. Let the 2 lanes continue on Pellissippi instead of requiring cars to merge into the left lane. My sons were rear-ended on the bridge when traffic came to a stand still on the overpass.
Schaad Rd Widening
There needs to be median control along this corridor. It is a safety feature for all users of this road. Also, there needs to be a more robust plan for a greenway connector (w/ trees) along this route to connect to any improvements on Pleasant Ridge Rd & Oak Ridge Hwy. All these road projects that have happened lately seem to forget to include trees and the great canopy they provide for pedestrians.

Strawberry Plains Pike Improvements
Are sidewalks and bike lanes going to be included in this widening project? Every time a road is altered, sidewalks should be added to promote more active lifestyles within the community. I live in this area and would love to be able to walk/bike to places in my community rather than drive because I don't feel as though it is safe.Also, Pine Grove Road/Hammer Road seems to be serving as a cut through to John Sevier from Strawberry Plains and visa versa. How will this road widening affect traffic on surroundong roads like Pine Grove?
Tazewell Pike and Fairview Road Intersection
This was a good improvement but will not address the additional traffic to be added to Thompson School Lane as the Community grows with additional developments. The roads needs to be widened to accommodate the extra traffic, not just at the light.When there is an accident on any of these roads, traffic is locked down, sometimes for hours. Having 4 lanes would alleviate that and would decrease the number of accidents on the two lane roads.
