This work was originally scheduled for October 23-26 but was postponed due to inclement weather.

TDOT will use its overhead Dynamic Message Signs to direct motorists around the closure. Drivers are advised to be alert and follow the posted directions. Law enforcement officers will be on site in the work zone to provide traffic control as the work is being completed.

Additional nightly closures on Wedgewood Avenue at the I-65 bridge will be needed following the weekend closure. There will also be nightly lane closures on I-65 at the bridge between 8PM-5AM starting Sunday, November 8. Two lanes will remain open in each direction during this work. 

There will be two additional partial interstate closures to complete the $2.4 million bridge repair project in the spring of 2021.
