Losing bidder challenges TDOT's $9.2B I-24 toll-lane deal

Tennessee's $9.2 billion plan to add toll lanes to Interstate 24 faces a new legal challenge from a losing bidder that accuses the state of letting the winning team, DriveTN, renegotiate key financial commitments after it was selected. Why it matters: The lawsuit, filed late Wednesday in Davidson County Chancery Court, raises questions about the fairness of the competition for Tennessee's first public-private toll-lane project. The losing bidder is asking a judge to block further action under the contract while the court determines whether TDOT improperly allowed DriveTN to change the financial terms of its winning bid after selection. Reality check: The lawsuit cites financial reporting suggesting DriveTN was negotiating to delay some payments to the state, but it does not establish that TDOT ultimately agreed to change the winning bid. The signed contract's payment terms have not been made public. TDOT declined to comment on the active litigation Thursday. Catch up quick: The "Choice Lanes" project would add optional toll lanes along 26 miles of I-24 between Nashville and Murfreesboro. Under the agreement, DriveTN would finance, build, operate and maintain the lanes. Zoom in: The DriveTN group won the competition by offering payments to the state valued at $24.8

Thirty Years Ago, This Tennessee Tunnel Made A Treacherous Mountain Drive Safer

Before the Cumberland Gap Tunnel opened in October 1996, drivers traveling between Tennessee and Kentucky followed a narrow, twisting stretch of U.S. Highway 25E across the mountain. The hazardous 2.3-mile route earned the ominous nickname “Massacre Mountain” because of its history of serious and fatal accidents. The nearly mile-long, twin-bore tunnel redirected traffic beneath Cumberland Mountain, creating a safer and more efficient passage through this rugged corner of Appalachia.
