CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Crews from TDOT’s Region Two bridge repair division will install a new precast structure on Ooltewah-Ringgold Road (SR-321) in Hamilton County next week. As a result of this project, a portion of Ooltewah-Ringgold Road will be closed to traffic from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 14, 2009. The section to be closed is near the new East Hamilton Middle High School approximately .4 four miles from East Brainerd Road (SR-320) and four miles from Apison Pike (SR-317).
 
TDOT will have portable message boards placed near the project area. Drivers should plan their route and seek an alternate route around this work zone during the closure.
