TN: TN 396 Western End

[Markkos1992]

So while a point should be here on TN 247 anyway, I noticed while clinching TN 396 that there is a zero milemarker here.  (Of course, I have not found that on a TDOT map...)

oddly, there  is this, this and this (repeated on US 31NB)

Not helping is this

Maybe that was part of TN 396 at one time, but TNDOT maps and GIS say it begins at US 31. SatPkwy point added.

Well, this 'connection' was opened in 2021.  It also required TN-247 to be realigned here too.  They put in a new bridge over the RR tracks.  Even had to remove the original access to a neighborhood and build a completely new one to the west there.

2018 vs 2021

I honestly think this is a big enough realignment that 'old' points would be justified & a news entry too.

Also, in reference to TN-396, here's the end @ the Saturn Plant in 2019 showing they hadn't even cleared the trees yet for the 'extension'.  So, maybe the GIS just isn't up-to-date yet, who knows here.

TDOT GIS has been updated to show the extension. https://github.com/TravelMapping/HighwayData/pull/7837

No comment on the TN-247 realignment there?

You can see the old bridge TN-247 used to use before it got realigned to JCT with the new TN-396 extension.

That's a really minor adjustment. It doesn't seem important enough that someone would think they need to go back for a re-clinch.

Just thought I'd mention it to play it safe.
