Currently, the outside shoulder is closed at this location and staff are monitoring the site. TDOT is evaluating options for both temporary and permanent repairs at this time.

Beginning tomorrow, August 4, TDOT maintenance crews will begin constructing a temporary travel lane along the inside shoulder at this location. This is needed to shift traffic away from the slope failure and allow additional working room for slope remediation.

Construction for the traffic shift is anticipated to take between 3-5 days, weather dependent. One lane will likely be closed as this lane is constructed for safety of workers. Motorists are advised to use caution when traveling through this area due to ongoing maintenance and construction activities.
