The Tennessee Department of Transportation is currently in the process of removing X-Lite guardrails on state roads.
TDOT will be replacing these guardrails due to safety concerns.
It was crashes and other information that led TDOT to make a decision in 2017 to remove and replace all X-Lite guardrails across the state.
So far TDOT has removed 1,951 guardrails in Tennessee.
TDOT spokesperson Mark Nagi said there are still about 36 guardrails left to be replaced.
TDOT originally planned to have all these guardrails removed by the end of June.
Nagi said that deadline has now been extended to July to remove the last 36 in Tennessee. The total cost to remove and replace these guardrails is about $3.4 million.
