Intermittent brief closures may occur, however, two-way travel will be maintained by the use of flaggers. Please use caution as CDOT crew members work within the right of way.
Paving and Resurfacing Schedule for March 17-21:
The City of Chattanooga Department of Public Works, in conjunction with our contract crews, has scheduled the following locations for resurfacing for the week of Monday, March 17 through Friday, March 21 (weather permitting):
• N. Moore Road between Brainerd Road and Shallowford Road.
The work is estimated to take the full week, due to the number of lane miles to be paved. Crews will close multiple lanes at a time, but will maintain single lanes in each direction for the duration. Driveways and intersections may briefly close while crews mill and resurface past these points. All work is weather permitting and subject to change without notice.
