Tennessee Department of Transportation notes that the schedule depends on weather conditions, and repairs may be postponed if necessary. Uniformed police officers will be on site to help manage traffic and enforce regulations, as reported by the Tennessee Department of Transportation.
To improve traffic safety, police officers will help with traffic control, and drivers are encouraged to check the Tennessee Department of Transportation SmartWay Map or call 511 for updates. Tennessee Department of Transportation reminds drivers to avoid distractions like texting or calling while driving. The Move Over Law requires drivers to slow down or move over when approaching emergency vehicles, with fines up to $500 and possible jail time for non-compliance.
