Downtown Chattanooga’s Market Street Bridge will be closing for most of the day Sunday to allow for quarterly testing and maintenance, according to a news release from the Tennessee Department of Transportation.

The bridge will be closed to all vehicle and pedestrian traffic from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. TDOT is urging drivers to use the Olgiati Bridge or the Veterans Bridge as alternate routes during the closure.

The planned work is weather-dependent and will be rescheduled to take place at a later date and time if inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances arise.
