Motorists traveling on U.S. Highway 321 and Tellico Parkway in Loudon County should be aware of upcoming bridge repair activities that will have a significant impact on traffic.

Beginning this Monday (March 23, 2026), the U.S. 321 bridges over Tellico Lake and Tellico Parkway will be reduced to one lane in each direction. In addition, the off-ramp from U.S. 321 southbound to Tellico Parkway westbound will be closed. Motorists will use State Route 335, U.S. 411, and State Route 72 to bypass the work zone.

This traffic pattern is expected to be in place until all bridge repairs are complete on or before November 15, 2026.

This schedule is contingent on favorable weather conditions. Motorists are advised to expect delays and use extreme caution in this area as workers will be present.
