Starting today in Putnam County, TDOT will be inspecting the State Route 24 bridge over I-40 near the 303-mile marker.   This will require lane closures on I-40 from 7:30 AM until 3:30 PM. Work will begin on I-40 eastbound in the right-hand lane before moving to the left-hand eastbound lane. In the afternoon, inspection activities will move to the westbound lanes with work again beginning in the right lane and moving to the left lane. No more than one lane will be closed at any time. Motorists are advised to use caution as they approach the work zone and follow the temporary traffic control devices.

In  the meantime, TDOT is advising motorists on US 70 between Crossville and Monterey to expect intermittent stoppages as well as shoulder and lane closures in both directions due to utility work. TDOT says the work is being conducted between Bell Road/Creston Road to Pomona-West Creston Road. Motorists should reduce speed and be prepared to stop. Trucks, signage and barrels/cones will be present, July 23 through August 23, 2024 from 8 am to 3 pm.
