State officials are considering building parts of I-69 as a toll road. Currently (while unsigned), a section of I-69 exists in the Memphis area, sharing its alignment with I-40, I-240, and I-55. ==Route description== From Fulton, Kentucky, I-69 is planned to continue to the southwest, replacing and bypassing existing U.S. Route 51, serving Union City, Dyersburg (where it will intersect Interstate 155), Ripley, Covington, and Millington. Tennessee is considering legislation that would allow I-69 to be built as a toll road, thereby accelerating its design and construction timetable by several years should such legislation be approved. Tennessee's toll road legislation comes as Congress withdrew $171 million allocated for Tennessee highway projects, including funds for I-69. This federal highway allotment was diverted to fund ongoing military operations in Iraq. On January 18, 2008, the Federal Highway Administration authorized the states of Mississippi and Tennessee to extend I-69 from the I-40/TN 300 interchange in north Memphis to the I-55/I-69 interchange in Hernando, Mississippi; however, Tennessee has signed the extension of the route, although Mississippi has already done so. On January 29, 2010, Senator Dewayne Bunch of the Tennessee General Assembly introduced senate bill 3790, SB3790, in addition to companion bill HB 2785 by Representative Hill, which would have affected the construction of I-69 in Tennessee. The bill would have made it a class E felony to enter into a contract for the design, construction, survey or maintenance of any portion of I-69 or any other interstate or highway project that is designed to link Canada, U.S., and Mexico. The bills did not pass due to lack of overall support in the Tennessee General Assembly. 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 69 in Tennessee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
