Market Street Bridge To Undergo Quarterly Testing On Sunday

  • Friday, June 3, 2016

The Tennessee Department of Transportation will conduct quarterly testing and maintenance on the Market Street Bridge on Sunday, during which time the bridge will be closed to through traffic. From 8 a.m.

to 3 p.m., the bridge will be closed to traffic as the testing is performed. 

 

Additionally, while the bridge is closed, TDOT crews will also be pressure washing one or both of the concrete counterweights.  If they are unable to complete cleaning both of the counterweights, they will finish the work during the next quarterly inspection.

 

This work is weather dependent.  Should inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances delay the inspection, it will be rescheduled to take place at a later date.  Drivers are advised to use the Olgiati Bridge or the Veterans Bridge as alternate routes while the Market Street Bridge is closed.
