A Toll Road from Louisville or Lexington to Chattanooga? By Ralph Roy Waggener If you draw a line from close to the upper Ohio River Bridge, come down through Campbellsville and Columbia, continue on through Tennessee to Chattanooga, it would be a straight line for a Toll Road that would save at least 30 miles from taking I-65 and I-24 between the two cities! Looking at a map it makes a lot of sense; think of the fuel savings alone would more than offset the toll charge. I have had Zak Smith here at Trifecta Print and Design make a map so I could get a better idea about this road. I have furnished this map to CJE Mike Stephens and we are working on getting all the towns and cities along this route to take a look at it. If it's a toll road then it would pay for itself, if it's built, it would take a lot of big trucks off of I-65, it would save a lot of fuel by making the trip shorter, save lives from the overcrowded I-65 and cut down on pollutions and traffic count through Louisville and Nashville, and, being a toll road, it would pay for itself! In addition an extension of the Bluegrass Parkway on up to I-75, and making a new possible toll road from Lebanon, Kentucky up to and joining The Bluegrass Parkway. The big thing it would do is lighten the load on 75 and 65 but it would open up the parts of both Kentucky and Tennessee and would join this same road cutting through this very sparsely populated area now, this would increase the revenue for these towns and counties following this route, and would do the same for Tennessee! Farfetched you might think, but this is how all great things get their start, if we get more cities along this route to promote this Toll Road idea we all stand to prosper plus we would have better way to travel North and South! Well anyway, just another farfetched idea to think about, sure hope someone finds it interesting enough to get behind and push it to a completed project! This road would never be built in my life time but would be good for all people in this area. If news media in the affected area will push this it might have a chance of being built, if not at least we have had a good try! How to get it to all news papers and radio and TV up and down the traveled area sure could make a difference! This story was posted on 2018-10-28 05:30:40
