When will they start working?

Ever wonder about that road project? You hear of something planned and then nothing seems to be happening. The town government of Smyrna puts online on the Streets department page an update of road projects. These are as small as new lights and as large as a new I-24 interchange. Here is the latest update for those that might be interested.
