Bill > HB0924

This bill requires the Tennessee Department of Transportation to conduct a comprehensive study about developing a new bridge crossing the Mississippi River that would connect Tennessee to Arkansas. The study must examine the bridge's development and viability, including related highway infrastructure and structures necessary to complete the project. By February 1, 2026, the Department must submit a detailed report to the Senate transportation and safety committee and the House transportation infrastructure committee, which must specifically identify potential funding sources from federal, state, and local levels and provide recommendations about the timing and feasibility of initiating the bridge project. The bill would take effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare by exploring potential infrastructure improvements that could enhance transportation connectivity between Tennessee and Arkansas.
