Travelers in Hendersonville should prepare for road closures as the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) ramps up utility work on Imperial Boulevard. Starting December 8, TDOT will temporarily close the lane at the intersection of Walton Ferry Road until December 10, between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. daily, according to an announcement on the department's website.
The Rogers Group closures are essential for storm drain replacement, and detours will redirect non-through traffic to Sanders Ferry Road and Walton Ferry Road. As per the announcement, this work is part of the wider Walton Ferry Road/Old Shackle Island Road improvements, which extend from Nokes Drive to Volunteer Drive and include enhancements to the intersection at State Route 6 (US 31/Main Street).
Motorists planning to navigate these areas should prepare for possible delays and observe the Move Over Law, which mandates extra caution in work zones — non-adherence can result in a fine or jail time, according to TDOT. Weather, as always, could also impact the schedule.
TDOT encourages the public to report any road maintenance issues through the TDOTFIX Hotline or their online request form, providing a channel for concerns such as potholes to be addressed. For the most up-to-date traffic information related to construction and detours, the TDOT SmartWay Map is a reliable resource, and travelers can also dial 511 for additional travel information.
