Paving to Prompt Lane Closures on I-75
MGN
HAMILTON COUNTY — Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) contract crews will implement temporary lane closures on I-75 near mile marker 3 to facilitate paving work.
This comes as part of Phase 2 (the second of two projects) to widen and improve the I-75 at I-24 interchange, according to TDOT Region 2.
The changes are as follows:
- Friday, February 6 at 9:00 p.m. – Monday, February 9 at 6:00 a.m.
- Friday Night: One lane will be closed in both directions beginning at 9:00 p.m. ET.
- Saturday Morning: By 6:00 a.m. ET, I-75 North will reopen, leaving one lane on I-75 South closed.
- Saturday Night: At 9:00 p.m. ET, one lane on I-75 North will close. One lane on I-75 South may remain closed, reopening no later than 6:00 am ET on Sunday.
- Monday Morning: All lanes will reopen no later than 6:00 a.m. ET.
They say two lanes of traffic will be maintained in each direction at all times throughout the weekend.
These lane closures are necessary for crews to pour new concrete pavement that connects to the existing roadway near the CSX Railroad Bridge, according to TDOT Region 2.
They say drivers are encouraged to plan ahead and expect delays and drivers should follow all posted signage and remain alert to changing traffic conditions.
