After seven years of orange barrels, dump trucks and backups, the $328 million, two-phase project to rebuild the state-line interstate junction known for decades as the split is taking its final lap.

For all practical purposes, the Tennessee Department of Transportation's Interstate 75/Interstate 24 interchange reconstruction project is finished.
