Not everybody on Stringer's Ridge is thrilled with TDOT's $102.5 million widening of Highway 27 north of the Olgiati Bridge.
"I don't think you can ever make everybody happy about a major highway project," Chattanooga Mayor Ron Littlefield says.
But broader dissension has prompted TDOT to take its $80 million companion project off-budget.
That plan would widen the bridge itself, soften some of 27's sharp curves leading up to it, and re-work the interchange at ML King Boulevard.
