Nighttime lane closures set for Tennessee River Bridges rehab

ALDOT advises motorists to expect lane closures on I-65 on two upcoming nights for rehabilitation of the Tennessee River Bridges.

Weather permitting, subcontractors will implement single-lane closures for work on bridge rails and guardrail from 6 p.m. Thursday, July 17, to 5 a.m. Friday, July 18, and again from 6 p.m. Sunday, July 20, to 5 a.m. Monday, July 21.

Both nights, they will work on the northbound bridge first, then shift operations to the southbound bridge.
