I-40 West, Knoxville Tennessee

[@purpleeinstein]

This is freakin’ awesome! Old memories for sure! I used to live in West Hills back in the day (early 80’s) and still miss it……

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you for watching!

[@EuropeanRoads]

Great video! The I-40/I-75 concurrency seems to be one big commercial strip. Can't wait for your roadtrip to New England ;)

[@FreewayBrent]

Awesomeness!

[@vbdenny]

very nice music with this Jim. I've been running around upstate New York for the past few days and am enjoying the cooler weather and very green landscape.

[@Bluetailvappy]

Yeah, for comparison, the rebuilding of the I-10/I-110 interchange and the SR 291 Interchange next to it, and the rebuilding of 3 miles of I-10 was finall completed, after over 60 months of construction. It was like watching paint dry at times.

[@MrDutchschaffer]

Quality video mate. I drove across the states last year and did this stretch. Awesome holiday an was good to see the US of A again, who knows when I'll be back. Cheers

The conditions at downtown Knoxville before the fix was horrible. Back when I went to Univ. of Tennessee the road segment between 388 & 389 was very narrow and during my last couple of semesters construction was underway. I guess there's still traffic problems along Knoxville's interstates especially where I-40 & I-75 overlap. Does anyone know what's the status of planning/building the bypass from exit ramp 368 (where I-40 & I-75 separate) to I-75 north of the city?

[@csxguy3002]

I recreated the music + this route in July on our way to Mexico. But it's in real time.

[@luketdrifter2100]

Thanks for the vid. I had heard now nice the SmartFix was for Knoxville. Nice to see it in it's completion. When I left, it was just in the planning stage.

[@FreewayBrent]

Maybe I'll go to Minnesota and do the recording for FreewayJim. :-)

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks for watching!

[@digginghunter7154]

You pubilished a video the day i was born

[@fjorab]

I like that you can glimpse the World's Fair globe on here. That I-40 fix was MUCH needed, and just in time for the traffic going to Bristol for NASCAR! I always used the bypass, but now it's almost unnecessary unless you're traveling north or you're in a high traffic time of day. The traffic and construction through there had been bad for as long as I can remember, and now it's weird how smooth and hassle-free it is.

[@Freewayjim]

@VagoGuillotina Thank you!

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks, yes for about 10 miles on 40/75 you see a sign for just about everything off the side of the road. I'm looking forward to the trip too, I just hope the weather cooperates.

[@Freewayjim]

it's in the 3.8x to 4.2 x range.

[@SchwarzeWitwe2]

Thank you! I miss home. Also lol at "chains" - welcome to Knoxville.

[@jacobnorton5808]

[@lindakbray1]

What a GREAT VIDEO!I ALWAYS WANTED TO GO TO TENNESSEE TO SEE WHERE MY ANCESTORS LIVED.I felt as if I was out there,too! THANKS!

[@Freewayjim]

Lots of stuff along that part of the drive that's for sure.

[@trainluvr]

Thanks for not tailgating!

[@Freewayjim]

I most likely won't be in those areas.

[@VagoGuillotina]

Excelente video!! Muchas Gracias por mostrarlo! Excellent video! Thank you very much for show us!

[@Freewayjim]

I have no plans to visit Minnesota within the next year or so but you never know, things change.

[@alcheng1000]

During my education at Univ. of Tenn. (civil engineering major), the transportation & traffic engineering professor talked about this bypass from time to time. I've heard that there were three proposals and there were lots of opposition from local residents during almost every hearing. Has this project ever taken off?

[@Freewayjim]

@MrDutchschaffer Thank you!

[@Freewayjim]

I do it when I can and yes, it can be pretty expensive.

[@NorvellDan]

Love your videos. I was just through there in early December.

[@ilyasadak3066]

love seeing knoxville once again, i've been away for 4 months thanks for the vid!

[@Freewayjim]

@gorideaquad Thanks!

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you!

[@amhome]

HI, I was just wondering Is it one of your hobbies to drive around the country on the freeways? You must be spending a lot of money on gas,brakes, and rotors. yes, would be really awesome if you do a video on new york.

[@charissecoal]

Lol what is that place, the autobahn??

[@idriveastationwagon1534]

I drove through knoxville about 2 weeks ago and everyone was going 15 to 25 over the limit

[@shannon1946]

[@homesforsaleinknoxville4456]

I love driving in Knoxville. There is virtually zero traffic! If you are tired of sitting in traffic all day come to Knoxville!

[@trulylondon1]
