The Tennessee Department of Transportation’s bridge inspection division will conduct routine inspections of two I-40 bridges over SR 1 (US 70) in Crab Orchard today. The inspections will take place between 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. local time, weather permitting.

To facilitate this work, flaggers will be present to reduce traffic to one lane on SR 1 from Cox Valley Road to Main Street. No traffic impacts to I-40 traffic are anticipated.

Drivers should use caution when traveling through the area during this time and expect delays. This work is weather-dependent and may be rescheduled in case of inclement weather or other unforeseen conditions.

As always, motorists are reminded to use TDOT’s motorist information tools and Know Before You Go! by checking travel conditions before departure. Drivers should never tweet, text, or talk on the phone while driving. For the latest updates, visit the TDOT SmartWay Map or dial 511 for statewide travel information.

Tennessee’s Move Over Law requires drivers to move over for highway workers and emergency vehicles. Violation of this law can result in up to 30 days in jail and a fine of up to $500.
