Here's a 1st look at everything:

Intro

• Add sources to existed and history dates in infobox.

Route description

• Add link to I-40 and all other linkable words on their first occurrence after the intro.
• be more specific to what UT is.
• Norfolk Southern Railway add "track" after.
• crossing with a rail spur maybe change "rail" to railroad or railway?
• Between with SR 158, with only the northbound lanes and SR 158 then passes directly under the Gay Street Bridge add one or two "SR 158" and try not to use "it" as much.
• Turning eastward, it next passes underneath a CSX railroad bridge[11] and then immediately afterward, the Henley Street Bridge, which carries US 441 across the river. I would split and add if SR 158 connects to US 441 or not. Here's an example from New York Route 28 article:

north of I-88, the highway passes over NY 7 with no access between the two. After another 0.75 miles (1.21 km), the route meets D.K. Lifgren Drive[3] (unsigned NY 992G),[4] a connector providing access between Routes 7 and 28.

• nearby I-40 interchange with Hall of Fame Drive in order to prevent weaving between these interchanges, and SR 158 westbound is accessed from I-40 westbound via a slip ramp which also provides access to Hall of Fame Drive.[7][10] I would remove the part that says "in order to prevent weaving between these interchanges"?
• He holds the record for the number of wins of any Volunteers football coach, and is often named one of the best defensive coaches in college football history. I would remove this sentence as it is extra info that doesn't relate to the road article.

History

• The additional right of way required for this project was provided by the University of Tennessee in 1972.[46] I would move this further up or change the wording.
• By the time the last stretch of SR 158 was under construction when was this?
• The eastern terminus of SR 158 with I-40 quickly developed a high crash rate, largely due to left-hand entrance and exit ramps on I-40 westbound, and reconstruction of this interchange to eliminate this hazard was suggested as early as 1971.[47] I would split this up.
• By 1977, UT officials requested the signalization of Neyland Drive at Lake Loudoun Boulevard I would reword it to say something like "Neyland Drive and Lake Loudoun Boulevard juntion"
• In preparation for the 1982 World's Fair, the Knoxville area received $250 million to accelerate a number of needed transportation projects, including reconstruction of the infamous "Malfunction Junction" between I-40 and I-75 (now I-275), which had also been planned as the terminus for the western leg of the Downtown Loop; widening parts of I-40; and completion of I-640, a northern bypass around downtown.[49][50] This sentence needs to be split up.
• Concepts for proposed improvements were presented to the public on December 11, 1989, and April 5 and 6, 1990. Improvements to what?
• Additional public meetings were held between November 1995 and January 2000, and the environmental impact statement for the project was approved by the FHWA on February 28, 2002.[51] I'd split up and explain what the additional public meetings were about.
• The first part of the first phase, which began on July 6, 2005, consisted of extending Hall of Fame Drive to parallel SR 158 between SR 71 and I-40, which eliminated an on-ramp from this road to SR 158 eastbound, reconstructing the interchange on I-40 with Hall of Fame Drive, construction of new collector-distributor ramps between this interchange and the SR 158 interchange, and replacing the Summit Hill Drive bridge over SR 158.[54][55] I'd split this up somehow, as it could be confusing to average reader.

Major intersections

• University of Tennessee Western terminus of SR 450, Signalized intersection, primary entrance to UT agriculture campus[67] should the commas be semicolons?
• Signalized intersection, primary entrance to UT Campus[48] should the commas be semicolons?
