Here is the weekly road construction report for Hamilton County:
I-75 widening project from 1.1 miles south of Lee Hwy. (SR-2 / US-11) to 1.2 miles north of Lee Hwy. (SR-2 / US-11) Each night throughout this report period, the contractor will have lane closures on I-75 northbound and southbound between mm 10 – mm 12 from 10 p.m.-6 a.m. the following morning to set new barrier rail, realign existing barrier rail and accommodate paving and demolition operations. One lane of traffic will remain open at all times.
The contractor will have lane closures on Hill Top Road, Hunter Road, Snow Hill Road, Mountain View Road, Lee Highway, and Old Lee Highway from 8:30 a.m.-7 p.m. to construct new roadway and accommodate bridge demolition and gas line construction. However, the contractor must move off the roadway from 2:30-3 p.m. each day during the shift change at Miller Industries. One lane of traffic will remain open at all times.
The temporary slip ramp to I 75 South is now open on Hilltop Drive. Drivers needing to access I-75 South from the Hunter Road area can now do so by using the newly-opened ramp from Hilltop Drive onto the interstate, thereby avoiding the Ooltewah interchange altogether. The slip ramp has its own dedicated lane onto the interstate, so drivers accessing I-75 South via the ramp are not required to merge when entering the interstate. The temporary ramp will be in place for the remainder of the project.
The bridge on Old Lee Highway is now open to traffic. Later in the year the contractor will place a final layer of asphalt on the roadway. The truck station located at the end of the project on I-75 South is now closed and will remain closed for the duration of the project. Estimated completion date is December 2010.
