Interstate 240 (Tennessee) (original) (raw)
Interstate 240 (I-240) is a 19.27-mile-long (31.01 km) auxiliary Interstate Highway in the US state of Tennessee that forms a bypass around the southern and eastern neighborhoods of Memphis. Combined, I-240 and its parent, I-40, form a contiguous beltway around most of Memphis. I-240 runs from I-40 in Midtown Memphis to I-40 and Sam Cooper Boulevard in East Memphis. Throughout its length, it provides access to I-55, multiple U.S. and state routes, and the Memphis International Airport. The segment between the western terminus and I-55 is a north–south route, and the segment between I-55 and the eastern terminus runs east to west. Throughout its length, I-240 is designated as the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Expressway, the W.B. Fowler Sr. Expressway, and the Avron B. Fogelman Expressway.

| dbo:abstract | Interstate 240 (I-240) is a 19.27-mile-long (31.01 km) auxiliary Interstate Highway in the US state of Tennessee that forms a bypass around the southern and eastern neighborhoods of Memphis. Combined, I-240 and its parent, I-40, form a contiguous beltway around most of Memphis. I-240 runs from I-40 in Midtown Memphis to I-40 and Sam Cooper Boulevard in East Memphis. Throughout its length, it provides access to I-55, multiple U.S. and state routes, and the Memphis International Airport. The segment between the western terminus and I-55 is a north–south route, and the segment between I-55 and the eastern terminus runs east to west. Throughout its length, I-240 is designated as the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Expressway, the W.B. Fowler Sr. Expressway, and the Avron B. Fogelman Expressway. The first sections of I-240 were opened in 1962, and the present-day route was completed in 1971. I-240 was first envisioned in the 1950s as a complete circular beltway around Memphis. The western segment between I-40 and I-55 was designated as I-255 until 1973, however. Citizen opposition to the routing of I-40 through Overton Park in the central part of Memphis resulted in I-40 being rerouted onto what was originally the northern loop of I-240 in 1981. As a result of this change, I-240's exits are still numbered according to their original mileage, which today is inconsistent with its length. (en) L'Interstate 240 (I-240) est une autoroute auxiliaire de 19,27 miles de long (31,01 km) au Tennessee. Elle forme une voie de contournement autour du sud et de l'est de Memphis. La combinaison de l'I-240 et de l'autoroute principale, l'I-40, forme une autoroute de ceinture autour de Memphis. L'I-240 débute à l'I-40 à Midtown Memphis jusqu'à l'I-40 et le Sam Cooper Boulevard à East Memphis. Durant son tracé, l'I-240 donne accès à l'I-55, à de nombreuses US routes et à des routes d'État, en plus de l'aéroport. Le segment entre le terminus ouest et l'I-55 est d'orientation nord–sud alors que le reste du tracé est d'orientation de l'ouest vers l'est. L'autoroute est désignée Dr Martin Luther King Jr. Expressway, W.B. Fowler Sr. Expressway et Avron B. Fogelman Expressway. Les premières sections de l'I-240 ont été ouvertes en 1962 et l'autoroute actuelle a été complétée en 1971. C'est durant les années 1950 que le projet de voie de ceinture autour de Memphis est proposé. Jusqu'en 1973, le segment entre l'I-40 et l'I-55 était désigné I-255. L'opposition citoyenne par rapport au tracé de l'I-40 à travers Overton Park, dans le centre de Memphis s'est terminé lorsque le tracé de l'I-40 a été déplacé dans ce qui devait être la boucle nord de l'I-240 en 1981. Le numéro des sorties de l'I-240 présente encore ce changement puisque les sorties sont numérotées en fonction du millage originellement prévu. (fr) |
