UPDATE Dec. 14 at 9:41 p.m.: The lane will remain closed through the night as the pothole repair did not pass additional strength testing.
Results of the 9 p.m. test were better than the 3 p.m. test, according to a release from TDOT, and engineers believe the pothole repair will pass the 6 a.m. test and hope the lane will be reopened before rush hour.
