Tennessee Department of Transportation survey crews will conduct an in-depth survey of the Olgiati Bridge on U.S. 27 over the Tennessee River in Chattanooga this Sunday, beginning at 6 a.m. EST and ending by 6 p.m. EST. During the survey, the bridge will be reduced to one lane in each direction.
Additionally, the 4th Street entrance ramp to U.S. 27 North will be closed to traffic as the survey is performed. A detour will be posted.
The crews will be gathering detailed information about the bridge in anticipation of a future widening project. TDOT Operations personnel will assist with traffic control.
This work is weather dependent. Should inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances delay the survey, it will be rescheduled to take place at a later date. Drivers wishing to avoid the area during this work are advised to use the Market Street Bridge or the Veterans Bridge as alternate routes.
