ROAD CONSTRUCTION WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON TRAFFIC IN KNOXVILLE FOR MONTHS
Motorists traveling on I-275 in Knox County should be aware of upcoming road construction activities that will have an impact on traffic over the next few months.
Beginning on Sunday night, March 12, there will be lane closures on I-275 between the I-40 split (MM 0.0) and the I-640 split (MM 3.0). These lane closures will be in place to allow crews to perform concrete repairs on the Baxter Avenue and Heiskell Avenue bridge substructures over I-275.
These lane closures will be in place nightly Sundays through Thursdays, between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. All work is expected to be complete by Friday, June 30.
This schedule is contingent on favorable weather conditions. Motorists are advised to use extreme caution in this area as workers will be present.
