Maintenance Prompts Lane Closures On Interstate 75

  • Monday, May 12, 2025

Drivers traveling on I-75 in Hamilton County should be aware of upcoming road construction activities that will impact traffic. On Wednesday, from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., Tennessee Department of Transportation contract crews will reduce I-75 to one lane in each direction from mile marker three to mile marker 6 to perform street sweeping, lane striping, and drain cleaning activities. 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. 

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.
