The Hixson Pike bridge over Highway 153 will be reopened to two lanes in each direction by Wednesday, according to the Tennessee Department of Transportation.

The bridge has been narrowed to a single lane in each direction since January while crews worked to repair the bridge deck and railings.

In a news release, TDOT spokeswoman Jennifer Flynn said the bridge will be open throughout the holiday shopping season and the end of the year. If any work remains that will require closures, they will be put off until after the holidays.
