TDOT Contractor To Open New Ramp For Access To I-75 North, I-24 West From Welcome Center And Northbound U.S. 41/Ringgold Road

  • Thursday, July 8, 2021

As part of the I-75/I-24 design-build interchange modification project in Hamilton County, TDOT contract crews will open a new ramp for access to I-75 North and I-24 West from the Welcome Center and Northbound U.S 41/Ringgold Road.

At 7 a.m. on Friday, exiting Welcome Center traffic will follow the new ramp alignment to the split where motorists will be presented with an option to exit left for I-24 West or continue straight to merge onto I-75 North. Overhead signs will facilitate these new movements.

Also at 7 a.m. on Friday, traffic will enter the new ramp alignment from Northbound U.S. 41/Ringgold Road and merge with Welcome Center traffic. Motorists will continue along the new ramp alignment to the split and be presented with an option to exit left for I-24 West or continue straight to merge onto I-75 North. Overhead signs will facilitate these new movements.

Be aware that GPS guidance systems for these new ramp movements may not yet be updated. Please follow overhead signs, traffic control devices and temporary message boards.

This work is weather-dependent. Should inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances delay this work, it will be rescheduled to take place as soon as possible.

C.W. Matthews Contracting Co., Inc. is the contractor for the $132.6 million I 75/I 24 interchange modification design-build project slated for completion in late summer 2021.
