The Estimated $3 (M) Exit 111 A ramp on I-24 eastbound opened to the public in Manchester around noon on Tuesday.
All interstate eastbound traffic wanting to go to Tullahoma will take the new ramp and not have to cross over Hwy 55 in order to turn toward Tullahoma.
Civil Constructors Foreman Scott Hansert said the wooded area between Coffee County Raider Academy and the Interstate was all wetlands. An 18-foot high wall was built to avoid grading the roadway and filling in the wetland.
All eastbound traffic wanting to travel to McMinnville will take Exit 111 B. An island will be built to block traffic at 111 B that formally went toward Tullahoma.
The Exit Ramp is Open
