JACKSON, Tenn. Road crews have been working 24/7 to get the roads safe to drive, but what is that costing taxpayers?
There is good news for taxpayers: All the work the Tennessee Department of Transportation is doing won’t be costing you any extra money.
“TDOT is a debt-free department. We don’t have any type of debt, so we are very good at budgeting and making sure each pot is full,” said TDOT Community Relations Officer Nichole Lawrence.
That includes the 24/7 work they’ve been doing for the last week, with clearing roads on state highways and interstates.
