State Route 62
Morgan CountyThe Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) plans to construct spot improvements along State Route 62 in Morgan County. The proposed project includes adding turn lanes at the intersections of Fairview Road, Petit Lane, and State Route 116. The project is intended to improve safety and traffic operations along the corridor.
Current Status: August 15, 2024
TDOT maintenance crews are constructing the proposed improvements at two locations (SR 62 and Petit Lane, SR 62 and SR 116). Crews widened and built up roadways with 2,991 tons of stone, and used 1,550 tons of asphalt in the construction of turn lanes at Petit Lane and SR 116. Only paving of asphalt topping remains at each turn lane.
The project improvements at SR 62 and Fairview Road are under development.
Estimated construction start: Improvements are underway at SR 62 and Petit Lane and SR 62 and SR116. Project improvements at SR 62 and Fairview Road are scheduled in TDOT’s 10-Year Project Plan to begin construction in Fiscal Year 2025.
Estimated completion*: TBD
Funding Type: TDOT anticipates that a portion of this project will be funded through the Transportation Modernization Fund.
