Standifer Gap Road Bridge Closure To Begin Monday

  • Thursday, September 29, 2016

Chattanooga Department of Transportation (CDOT) announced the closing of the bridge over Friar’s Branch on Standifer Gap Road between Hickory Valley Road and Shallowford Road, beginning Monday. The closure will last approximately 18 months. This will be a hard closure with no traffic allowed on the bridge.

The Tennessee Department of Transportation conducted a bi-annual bridge inspection and recommended that the bridge be closed to all traffic due to continued deterioration of the bridge beams.

CDOT is in the process of developing bridge replacement plans and identifying fund sources for new bridge construction.

Motorist can use Shallowford Road and Hickory Valley Road as detours during this closure.  

For additional information regarding the closure, contact 3-1-1.
