Attention drivers in Knox County: get ready for some evening delays on I-275. The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) has announced lane closures that will affect both north and southbound lanes at the bridge over Elm Street and Bernard Avenue tonight from 7 p.m. until 6 a.m., with the work being dependent on the cooperation of the weather.
The lane closures are for resurfacing works, a part of the ongoing bridge replacement project on this stretch of the interstate. For those taking these routes, expect some slowdowns and prepare for a bit of congestion. These works are critical for maintaining the infrastructure, so while it may be an inconvenience, it ensures safer travels in the long term.
TDOT urges all motorists traveling through this area to exercise caution as construction crews will be on-site during these times. It's essential to adhere to posted signage and remain alert, keeping in mind that safety on both ends—for drivers and workers—is paramount.
