New Bridges Scheduled to Open Early Along Interstate 24 in Hamilton County

Beginning Monday, November 25, 2024, at 5:00 am CT, Tennessee Department of Transportation contract crews will officially open the new S Moore Rd and McBrien Rd bridges over I-24 in Hamilton County more than two months ahead of schedule, providing a major upgrade to the area’s transportation infrastructure. These bridges were reconstructed as part of Phase 2 (the second of two projects) to improve the I-75 at I-24 interchange and will accommodate the widening of I-24 underneath.

Completing the new S Moore Road and McBrien Road bridges over I-24 is a major project milestone,” says Danny Oliver, Assistant Chief Engineer for TDOT in Region 2. “Opening them both ahead of schedule is a collaborative effort and testament to the effectiveness of the project’s alternative delivery team.”

Additional project improvements include:

  • Widening both I-75 and I-24 near the split, all interchange ramps will be three lanes
  • Entrance and exit ramp upgrades at North and South Terrace
  • New storm drainage system, median barriers, guardrail, signing, and lighting
  • Construction of new retaining walls and noise barriers
  • Rehabilitation of existing concrete pavement
  • Replacement of the I-75 bridge over the CSX railroad

This work is weather dependent. Should inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances cause delays, it will be rescheduled to take place at a later date. Follow the regional communications officer on X (@RaeAnneTDOT) for important traffic information and updates.
