CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Department of Transportation contract crews will have rolling roadblocks in place on a short section of Interstate 24 East and State Route 237 (Rossview Road) in Clarksville for bridge construction. During the closures, eastbound interstate traffic will use the on- and off-ramps at SR 237. The work is scheduled as follows.
• Saturday, August 1, 7 a.m. to 12 p.m.
There will be rolling roadblocks on I-24 eastbound, between MM 4.0 and MM 8.0, in order to install metal decking.
This operation will likely create delays for I-24 eastbound traffic.
Message boards are in place to alert motorists to the road closures. Tennessee Highway Patrol and TDOT HELP trucks will also be on-site to assist with traffic.
The scheduled closures are weather dependent. Should inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances prevent work from occurring as scheduled, the time will be adjusted or the work will be rescheduled.
The lane closures are necessary to set beams for the new bridge. Later this year, the old bridge will be removed. The work is part of a $12.9 million project that will modify the interchange and widen SR 237 in Montgomery County.
