Section of John B Dennis Highway to be closed
The Tennessee Department of Transportation has announced a section of the John B. Dennis Highway (State Route 93) will be closed from 10 p.m. Friday (January 5) to 4 a.m. Monday (January 8 ).
The section of the John B. Dennis Highway to be closed runs from Moreland Drive to Lincoln Street and the closure is necessary to allow the state contractor to perform repairs at the bridge over the South Fork of the Holston River.
Signage will be in place to direct motorists around the work zone via State Route 126 (Wilcox Drive/Fort Henry Drive/Memorial Boulevard). Motorists are advised to expect delays and use caution while traveling in this area as workers will be present on the highway.
This work schedule is contingent on favorable weather conditions. As always, drivers are reminded to use all motorist information tools wisely and “Know Before You Go!” by checking travel conditions before leaving for your destination.
