NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Tennessee drivers will soon be able to pay for a quicker commute with the state’s first toll lanes, branded as “Choice Lanes,” with the first highway to get them being I-24 between Nashville and Murfreesboro.
While public buses and first responders will use these lanes for free, other motorists will face variable tolls depending on traffic demand.
The initiative was a part of Governor Bill Lee’s infrastructure bill, dubbed the Transportation Modernization Act. The new lanes aim to provide a more predictable travel experience for those willing to pay.
Surge pricing for the roads. Always an interesting solution attempt to fix high traffic roads.
