Drivers traveling on I-75 in Hamilton County should know about upcoming road construction activities impacting traffic. As part of the project to improve the I-75 interchange at Hamilton Place Mall, Tennessee Department of Transportation contract crews will install concrete beams for a new bridge over I-75 at Hamilton Place Boulevard beginning Monday, February 24, 2025, from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am ET and continuing nightly through Tuesday, March 4, 2025. The work will include rolling roadblocks on I-75 in both directions, lane closures on I-75 in both directions and temporary closures of the loop ramp to I-75 South from Hamilton Place Boulevard.
Drivers are encouraged to use caution as they travel through this area and expect delays. The speed limit has been reduced on I-75 throughout the project limits. Motorists should pay attention to construction signage and watch for construction vehicles and personnel. This work is weather-dependent. If inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances cause delays, it will be rescheduled later. Uniformed police officers will be present to assist with traffic control and law enforcement.
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 TDOTÂ SmartWay Map. Travelers can also call 511 for statewide travel information.
