Previous TN 840's:



TN 840: The following information comes from a very nice booklet released by TDOT in November 2012 commemorating the completion of TN 840. Appeared in 1995 when the first segment of the Southern half of the Nashville Beltway opened from I-40 near Lebanon south to Stewarts Ferry Pike. A Nashville Beltway was first proposed in the mid 1970s and was referred to by TDOT as I-840 as early as 1986, but when actual freeway opened it was signed as TN 840.
In 1996, TN 840 was extended south to I-24 north of Murfreesboro.
In 2000, TN 840 was extended from I-24 to US 31A-41A.

In 2003, the northern loop around Nashville was put on indefinite hold. An EIS was completed on the northern loop in 1995.
