TDOT Contractor to Implement Weekend Closure of U.S. 27 North on and off ramps at MLK Blvd

Beginning on Friday, October 16, 2020 at 7 p.m. EDT, contract crews working on the U.S. 27 reconstruction project in downtown Chattanooga will close the U.S. 27 northbound on and off ramps at Martin Luther King Blvd. These closures will be in place until Monday, October 19, 2020 at 6 a.m. EDT to allow the contractor to complete work on MLK Blvd. near U.S. 27 North.

Motorists should exercise caution when traveling through the construction zone and pay close attention to the posted detours and signage.

From your desktop or mobile device, get the latest construction activity and live-streaming SmartWay traffic cameras at www.TNSmartWay.com/Traffic.
