Proposed I-75 at I-24 Interchange Modification EA Adoption

Hamilton County, Tennessee

The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) seeks the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) approval and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Section 26a approval for the proposed modification and reconstruction of the existing Interstate 75 (I-75) and Interstate 24 (I-24) interchanges in Chattanooga and East Ridge, Hamilton County, Tennessee.

The United State Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) completed an environmental assessment (EA) for the proposed modification and reconstruction of the existing interchanges. USACE finalized the EA and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) on February 7, 2020. TVA has independently reviewed the USACE EA and found it to adequately meet the requirements for document adoption. TVA is therefore adopting the USACE EA for the proposed I-75/I-24 modification and reconstruction as part of the environmental review for the Section 26a permit request.
