TDOT's plan for Tennessee's first toll lanes along I-24 is moving forward, and South Nashville residents are raising concerns about years of construction ahead.

The Choice Lanes project would add managed toll lanes along I-24, a corridor heavily used by visitors driving in from the airport and southern suburbs.

Residents along the route worry about noise, property impacts, and construction disruption stretching over multiple years — worth knowing if you're planning repeat visits or a longer stay in the area.
