Drivers in Roane County should prepare for delays and shifting road conditions due to two active Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) construction projects.

According to a recent TDOT update, motorists traveling eastbound on Interstate 40 between Mile Markers 340 and 341 will encounter closed shoulders and reduced speed limits.

Additionally, drivers passing through the intersection of U.S. Highway 27 and Oliver Springs Highway should anticipate new traffic patterns and intermittent lane closures at various times.

TDOT urges all motorists to remain alert for roadside workers, watch for changing conditions, and use extreme caution when navigating both work zones.
