Drivers on Interstate 75 on Sunday should be aware of a planned bridge inspection that will require the closure of one lane and the shoulder on the interstate bridge over the Hiwassee River at the Bradley-McMinn county line.
State maintenance crews will close the right lane and shoulder of the bridge on the southbound side from 6:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. Sunday, requiring drivers to merge left as they approach the bridge, officials said in a press release. Drivers should watch for temporary traffic control devices in the area.
The work could be rescheduled in the event of inclement weather.
The agency reminds drivers to use all motorist information tools and “know before you go” by checking travel conditions before leaving for any destination. Drivers can get the latest construction activity and traffic updates from the TDOT SmartWay Map or by calling 511 for statewide travel information.
