CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (Nov. 10, 2025) – To smooth commutes across the city,
Chattanooga is installing and upgrading cutting-edge smart technology and
undergoing a comprehensive traffic signal retiming effort.
“By leveraging smart technology, we are taking a proactive approach to
traffic management that reduces congestion, saves commuters time and
improves safety across the city,” said Corey Givens, Manager of Intelligent
Transportation Systems for the City of Chattanooga. “This is a major
investment in Chattanooga’s infrastructure and our residents’ quality of
life.”
The core of this technological upgrade is the installation and upgrade of
the Gridsmart GS3 Fisheye Camera Vehicle Detection Systems, enabling true
real-time, adaptive traffic management. The city received grant funding to
cover the cost of the installations, which were conducted by the Department
of Public Works.
New detection systems were recently added at key intersections: including
Bonny Oaks Dr. and Hickory Valley Rd., Cherokee Blvd. and Manufacturers
Rd., Frazier Ave. and Barton Ave. (Veterans Bridge), East Brainerd Rd. and
Panorama Dr., and East Brainerd Rd. and N Concord Rd.
Work on the Highway 153 corridor is scheduled to begin in the third week of
November with an anticipated completion in the second week of December.
This project is expected to allow traffic to flow significantly smoother
along the entire corridor and cut down on total travel time.
