TDOT closes Polk County bridge due to safety concerns

POLK COUNTY, Tenn. (WDEF) — The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) ordered that a bridge in Polk County be closed due to safety concerns.

TDOT bridge structural inspectors closed the road at the bridge. They also placed signs and barricades for the safety of the public.

This bridge is on Columbus Road in Delano, Tennessee. The closed bridge is on the side of Davis Farm that is closest to Patty Church of Christ, according to the county.

The road comes to an end on private property, and there is no turnaround for drivers.

Polk County’s Road Department says CSX Railroad is responsible for maintaining this bridge, as it goes over train tracks.
