Interstate 440 (Tennessee)

Interstate 440 (abbreviated I-440, signed as Four-Forty Pky) in Tennessee is a 7.64-mile (12.30 km) long loop connecting Interstate 40, Interstate 24, and Interstate 65, bypassing downtown Nashville to the south. The section between I-24 and I-65 was completed in 1986, and the section between I-65 and I-40 was completed in 1987. It was the most expensive road, per mile, built in Tennessee at the time. In the beginning it was called Four-Forty Parkway and trucks were not permitted to use it, but eventually it became open to trucks. With only two lanes in each direction and an AADT of 106,219^[3], it is one of the most congested rush-hour highways in the state.
