SR 220 in Carroll County to Close on Monday, April 23rd

Jackson, Tenn. – TheTennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) will close SR 220 at log mile 10.9 in Carroll County beginning at 9:00 a.m. April 23, 2012 to perform repairs to a culvert. The roadway will reopen April 27, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. 

 

During the closure, TDOT crews will replace the culvert, which clogs and creates flooding during heavy rains, with a larger drainage structure to handle large amounts of water.
