Assessments
The promise was to expand every Tennessee interstate to at least four lanes. The supplied TDOT evidence identifies multiple Tennessee interstate segments on I-24, I-40, and I-75 that remain four lanes or are still in development for widening, with completion dates listed as TBD. That means the statewide promised outcome has not been delivered. Because Rose is a federal U.S. Representative and the evidence does not show a serious legislative or executive attempt by him that materially advanced completion of the statewide interstate expansion, no effort badge is warranted.
The promise was to expand every Tennessee interstate to at least four lanes statewide. Evidence shows multiple Tennessee interstate widening projects remain unfinished or still under development, with several segments described as currently four lanes and planned for future widening. Rose also has not held the state executive office most directly able to deliver a statewide interstate expansion program. No evidence provided shows the promised statewide outcome was completed, nor a serious legislative or executive attempt by Rose that failed.
