The right lane on Interstate 75 south near the Interstate 24 interchange will be closed beginning at 9 p.m. Friday and ending at 6 a.m. Monday.

The stretch will extend from Highway 153 to the bridge over the CSX railroad. Traffic from the Highway 153 south ramp merging onto I-75 will have to yield, according to a news release from the Tennessee Department of Transportation.

The closure is a part of the larger improvement project to widen I-75. During the closure, roadway crews will repair damaged concrete slabs. The work is scheduled to take place over several weekends, the release said.

Northbound traffic will not be affected by the closure. The department urges drivers to seek alternate routes for the weekend.
