Interstate 269 (I-269) is a partially built outer beltway around the city of Memphis, Tennessee, and its adjacent suburban areas in northern Mississippi. I-269 signs have been erected in Mississippi and will be erected in Tennessee once the remaining unbuilt segments are completed. As of 2015, I-269 is designated along a segment between Mississippi Highway 302 (MS 302) and Tennessee State Route 385 (SR 385). The majority of Tennessee's portion is completed, but currently designated as SR 385; while Mississippi's portion is currently under construction, expected to open in 2018. ==History== On January 29, 2007 the Federal Highway Administration issued a record of decision giving final federal approval for I-269, paving the way for the two states to design and construct the remaining section between Hernando and Piperton. The Tennessee Department of Transportation's plans call for the two sections to be connected in phases. Plans are to have the portion extending south from an incomplete interchange with TN 385 south to the Mississippi state line to be complete by July 2015 to coincide with completion of the section in Mississippi from the Tennessee state line to Mississippi Highway 302.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= Tennessee Department of Transportation )〕 On October 18, 2007, the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) announced that a bond was successfully issued through the state's Highway Enhancements Through Local Partnerships (HELP) Program for $83 million to cover planning and right-of-way acquisition costs for Mississippi's portion of the route. Mississippi began its part of I-269 construction on June 23, 2011, with the section from the state line to I-55 totaling construction costs of $640 million as of 2014. Completion of I-269 to Hernando, thus marking the completion of the entire beltway, is expected in the latter half of 2015. The construction costs of the Tennessee portion of SR 385 from the 1980s until completion in 2013 is over $500 million. Both states combined investments are over $1.2 billion for the 64.3-mile I-269 project including construction and rights of way expense listed above. On October 23, 2015, the first completed segment of I-269 opened between SR 385 and MS 302.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Interstate 269」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
