Heads up, drivers in Knox County. If you're one to travel down I-75 South, take note that the exit ramp at Exit 112, that's Emory Road for those who navigate by landmarks, will be off-limits starting at 11 p.m. tonight, November 5, and will stay that way until this morning, with a reopening time slated for 5 AM. This update comes courtesy of the Tennessee Department of Transportation, which is keeping things safe as they install what they've called "traffic control devices" for an interchange project.
The department notes that the timing of this minor delay is contingent upon favorable weather conditions. They're preemptively asking folks to expect some delays and reminding them that caution is key, with workers in the zone taking care of business to ensure everyone’s safer travels. Drivers, it goes without saying, should keep their eyes peeled and save those tweets and texts for when they're not in motion.
For those seeking alternatives and updates, there's no reason to hit the brakes with worry; before you roll out, double-check the TDOT SmartWay system, or give a quick ring to 511 for the scoop on the latest in travel conditions – these tools are designed to give you the intel you need without needless distraction.
