Nashville, Tenn. – The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) will conduct a closure of State Route 264 (Stonewall Road) in Smith County.

Beginning Monday, October 20, until Friday, October 24, TDOT Maintenance crews will close State Route 264/Stonewall Highway near Helms Bend Road/Smiths Road to State Route 53/Cookeville Highway. This closure will take place daily from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to allow crews to stabilize the roadway and replace cross drains.

All work is weather-dependent. As always, drivers are reminded to allow additional time, slow down, and move over when traveling through a work zone. The Move Over Law was passed in 2006. The penalty for violating the law in Tennessee includes the possibility of up to 30 days in jail and a maximum fine of $500.

Motorists can report potholes to TDOT by calling the TDOTFIX Hotline at 833-TDOTFIX or using this online form: TDOT Maintenance Request. The TDOT SmartWay Map (https://smartway.tn.gov) provides the latest traffic updates on construction activity. Travelers can also call 511 for travel information.
