The exit ramp from U.S. 27 North onto Martin Luther King Boulevard has been repaired today and reopened.

Construction workers had discovered a potentially weak spot on the interstate, according to a press release from the Tennessee Department of Transportation, and closed the exit ramp temporarily.

The outside lane of U.S. 27 North also has been repaired and reopened after workers found a potentially dangerous spot when investigating a pothole on the U.S. 27 bridge over 12th street in the construction zone, according to the release.
