Bridge Inspections Prompt Lane Closures On I-75 In Bradley County

  • Friday, July 18, 2025

Drivers traveling on I-75 in Bradley County should be aware of an upcoming bridge inspection that will temporarily impact traffic. Sunday, from 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. local time, Tennessee Department of Transportation maintenance crews will close the right lane and shoulder of the I-75 South bridge over the Hiwassee River (mile marker 34) for its regularly scheduled biennial inspection.

Motorists should be prepared to merge left as they approach the bridge and be alert to the presence of temporary traffic control devices, inspection vehicles, and message boards.

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.

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.
