Drivers traveling on SR 27 (Suck Creek Road) in Hamilton County should be aware of upcoming roadway activities that will impact traffic.
On Wednesday, from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., Tennessee Department of Transportation contract crews will perform intermittent, full closures near 1583 Suck Creek Road to install a small drainage structure. These intermittent road closures will occur for 30 minutes at a time (allowing traffic to clear in between each one), with a one-hour closure from midnight – 1 a.m., and then resume with 30-minute closures for the remainder of the evening.
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 for a later date. Uniformed police officers will be present to assist with traffic control and law enforcement.
