New configuration at 'Y' Interchange and William Cannon bypass bridge closed

• As early as October 2025, the US 290/SH 71 Interchange will open to its new Single Point Urban Interchange (SPUI) configuration. (Check out the animation video below).
• New bridges at the intersection will provide access for left-turn and U-turn movements for eastbound US 290, and continued access from eastbound SH 71 to eastbound US 290. The eastern bridge will also allow the drivers to make a west-to-east U-turn at the US 290/SH71 Interchange.
• This configuration is expected to be in place until project completion in 2026.
• All major activity is subject to change and weather permitting.

Eastbound US 290 to bypass Scenic Brook Drive
