June bridge rehab will cause delays in Anderson

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Drivers who use the state Route 170 bridge over the Clinch River in Anderson County could face delays throughout June.

The Tennessee Department of Transportation says that beginning June 2, the bridge will be reduced to one lane while a contractor removes asphalt, repairs the decks and repaves the bridge. A temporary traffic signal will be installed and the work should be done by the July 4 weekend.

TDOT says commuters should be prepared for long delays, especially during morning and evening rush hours.
