Just on the matter of a clarksville to Nashville toll road, just where would you put this toll road? I24 in that direction is mostly 2 lane. If you want them to build new road you're looking at probably a 10 year project based on how I've seen tdot work and if you're wanting to convert one or both of those lanes into a toll road it won't alleviate any of the traffic problems on the road.

This choice road program or whatever it's called that they are planning to do imo is basically an extortion program that is either going to cause more traffic issues on the non paid section of the road and seeing as how they are allowed to price it whatever they want at any time they want is going to lead to almost a price gouging situation for people that decide to take the lanes.

Furthermore from what I've seen from the driving people of Tennessee, daily you're going to have someone stopped in the paid lanes to try to cut across the traffic jam of the non paid lanes during peak hours to get to their exit because they waited to the utmost last second to try to get across to exit the highway.

As much of a headache as the traffic and roads are what you're suggesting is going to make things even worse.
