Drivers traveling on Apison Pike in Hamilton County should be aware of upcoming road construction activities that will have an impact on traffic.
As part of the Apison Pike reconstruction project from SR 321 to Layton Lane, Tennessee Department of Transportation contract crews will perform a traffic shift on SR 317 between Ooltewah-Ringgold Road and Sanborn Drive on Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. local time. The modified traffic pattern is necessary to accommodate work on a box culvert near Ooltewah-Ringgold Road and will remain in place until construction of the bridge over the railroad has been completed.
Drivers are encouraged to use caution as they travel through this area and expect delays. This work is weather-dependent. Should inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances cause delays, it will be rescheduled to take place at a later date. Uniformed police officers will be present to assist with traffic control and law enforcement.
