History

TDOT announced plans to build SR 396 on September 11, 1985 for a price of $29.3 million to provide access to the then-future Saturn Plant, which had been announced earlier that year. Contracts to construct SR 396 were awarded in November 1987, and the route opened on August 7, 1989. The GM plant began operations the next year.
