Drivers should expect delays
Clarksville, TN – Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) contract crews will be making repairs to the McClure Bridge on SR 13 in Clarksville for several weekends in August, starting this Friday, August 7th, 2017.
The work will require bridge traffic to be reduced to one lane, controlled by a temporary traffic signal. Work will begin on Friday, August 4th at 8:00pm and continue until Monday, August 7th at 5:00am.
Additional work is scheduled for the weekend of August 11th and August 25th. Work is weather dependent, so drivers should check message boards around the area for the most up-to-date closure information.
During the weekend lane closures, drivers should plan ahead and expect delays.
The repair project will include replacing the bridge end joint at the north end of the structure, along with resurfacing the total length of the bridge.
The repair contract was awarded to Concrete Structures, Inc., whose bid of $275,988.00 was the lowest that met project requirements.
