Attention, drivers heading north on I-75 in Campbell County: prepare for potential delays as bridge repair work is set to constrict traffic flow. Starting from 7 p.m. tonight, the far right lane near Exit 134, the gateway to Caryville, Jacksboro, and LaFollette, will be under repair, causing a 24/7 closure to facilitate the deck renovations over Better Chanee Road.
According to an announcement shared by TDOT, this infrastructure endeavor should wrap up by the early morning hours of Sunday, June 15, provided that the weather cooperates. As southbound drivers breathe a sigh of relief with their lanes now fully operational post-repairs, their counterparts heading north might need to allocate extra time for their travel plans.
Travelers are urged to exercise caution, anticipating the presence of work crews during their commute. TDOT emphasizes the importance of safety, advising against distractions such as texting, tweeting, or taking calls while driving. For real-time updates, the TDOT SmartWay system is readily available to motorists seeking the most current traffic and construction news.
