TDOT has published an October 2008 newsletter for the Pellissippi Parkway Extension Project.

Decisions:

Alternatives that will be carried forward and evaluated in detail in the Draft Environment Impact Statement (DEIS):

• No build
• Extend using Alternative A (formerly Corridor A)
• Extend using Alternative C (formerly Corridor C)
• Alternative D - Upgrade two-lane network (formerly Corridor D)

Alternatives dismissed from further consideration, failed to substantially address the transportation needs and purpose and need of the project:

• Public transit
• Transportation System Management
• Extend using Corridor B

Field studies are currently being conducted, through November 2008.
