Bridge Work Prompts Lane Closures On I-75 In Hamilton County Overnight Tonight

  • Wednesday, April 30, 2025

Drivers traveling on I-75 in Hamilton County should be aware of upcoming road construction activities that will impact traffic. Tonight from 8 p.m.-6 a.m., Tennessee Department of Transportation contract crews will reduce I-75 to one lane in each direction at Hamilton Place Boulevard to perform a concrete deck pour for the new bridge over I-75.

The I-75 South entrance ramp from Hamilton Place Boulevard will also be closed during this time.

This work is part of the I-75 Interchange Improvements project at Hamilton Place Boulevard.

Drivers are encouraged to use caution as they travel through this area and expect significant delays. Avoid the area if at all possible.

This work is weather-dependent. Should inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances cause delays, it will be rescheduled for a later date. Uniformed police officers will be present to assist with traffic control and law enforcement.

Also, drivers traveling near the I-75 at I-24 interchange in Hamilton County should be aware of upcoming road construction activities that will temporarily impact traffic. As part of Phase 2 (the second of two projects) to widen and improve the I-75 at I-24 interchange, Tennessee Department of Transportation contract crews must implement night-time lane closures on I-75 near East Brainerd Road.

As always, drivers are reminded to use all motorist information tools wisely and Know Before You Go! by checking travel conditions before leaving for your destination. Drivers should never tweet, text, or talk on a cell phone while behind the wheel. Get the latest construction activity traffic updates from the TDOT SmartWay Map. Travelers can also call 511 for statewide travel information.

The Move Over Law was passed in 2006. The penalty for violating the law in Tennessee carries the possibility of up to 30 days in jail and a maximum fine of up to $500.
