The city of Chattanooga's Department of Transportation (CDOT)
and their contractors will begin work on the repaving of ML King Boulevard today (Tuesday) at Central Avenue.
This commences the first phase of a four-phase, 45-day project to repave and redesign the ML King corridor. This paving and safety project
will transition the number of vehicle lanes from two in each direction to one in each direction, with a center turn lane and dedicated bike lanes on either side.

Mitigation assistance grants for businesses affected by the repaving schedule may be available.
