Chattanooga’s US-27 is getting a significant transformation with a first-of-its-kind landscaping project funded by the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT). This $3 million initiative will revitalize the stretch from West 6th Street to Riverfront Parkway which will showcase a diverse array of trees, shrubs, prairie grasses, wildflowers, and cover crops. An advanced irrigation system will maintain the greenery, ensuring a vibrant and scenic drive year-round. The project was awarded to Stansell Electric Company, with efforts to minimize traffic disruptions until its estimated completion in December 2025,.

This aims not only to beautify Scenic City’s Riverfront area but also enhance its commitment to sustainability and environmental health. The new green corridor will improve air quality, support local ecosystems, and provide a picturesque, stress-reducing environment for commuters and visitors.
