Interstate 24 Eastbound

This post is about I-24, which makes up a major link between Atlanta and the Midwest. First up is the eastbound drive, which is as follows:

I-24-IL-EB-07

I-24-IL-EB-14

I-24-IL-EB-16

I-24-IL-EB-27

I-24-KY-EB-27

I-24-KY-EB-31

I-24-KY-EB-40

I-24-KY-EB-42
I-69 splits off to the north. The only two missing links to be filled in are the Ohio River Bridge (which will link Henderson, KY to Evansville, IN) and a section from Martinsville to Indianapolis.

Here, I-24 meets I-840 in the extreme southern suburbs. A full outer beltway has been planned for Nashville, but at the present time, only the southern half exists. Due to environmental concerns, it is extremely unlikely that the northern half will ever be built.
