TDOT Contractor to Repair Damaged Concrete Slabs on I-75 North between Mile Markers 2 and 3 in Chattanooga (Hamilton County).
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – As part of the I-75/I-24 design-build
interchange modification project in Hamilton County, TDOT contract crews must
repair damaged concrete slabs at several sites on I‑75 within the project
limits. These repairs will take place over several weekends until the
contractor completes them.
The
section to be repaired this weekend is on I-75 North between mile marker 2 and
mile marker 3. The repairs will begin at 9:00 p.m. EDT on Friday, May 14, 2021,
and end by or before 6:00 a.m. EDT on Monday, May 17, 2021. The two right lanes
will be closed during the work. The two left lanes will remain open.
Additionally,
the loop ramp from southbound U.S. 41/Ringgold Road to I-75 North will be
closed during this work. Traffic can use the on-ramp from northbound U.S. 41/Ringgold
Road to access I‑75 North while the loop ramp is closed.
During this work, the contractor will remove
damaged concrete slabs and re-pour them with new concrete, which will require
several hours to develop enough strength to carry traffic. As soon as the
concrete cures enough to pass strength tests, the contractor will reopen all
lanes to traffic.
This
work is weather-dependent. Should inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances
delay this work, it will be rescheduled to take place as soon as possible.
C.W. Matthews Contracting Co., Inc. is the
contractor for the $132.6 million I‑75/I‑24 interchange modification
design-build project slated for completion in late summer 2021. To get more
