After seven years of planning, coordination, and construction, the city of Smyrna has unveiled the major traffic and safety improvements on its Lowry Street corridor. The city requested a TDOT Safety Audit of the corridor in 2019, which includes major intersections at Jefferson Pike, and along Sam Ridley Parkway at the ramps to Interstate 24. Following the analysis, new signals were recommended at both intersections, realigning the ramps and creating new configurations to reduce conflict points. Construction began in October 2024 with a signalization project that began in April 2025 finishing in June 2026.
