Marion County Welcome Center and Rest Area Reopen

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. –TDOT has reopened the Welcome Center on I-24 West and the Rest Area on I-24 East at mile marker 160 near Nickajack Lake in Marion County. The facilities were temporarily closed last week because of sewage system problems that required TDOT maintenance and contract

workers to make emergency repairs. The repairs are now complete, and both facilities are open once again for the convenience of the traveling public.

For travel information visit the TDOT SmartWay web site at www.tn.gov/tdot/tdotsmartway or call 5-1-1. You can also receive traffic alerts via TDOT’s multiple Twitter feeds, including statewide traffic tweets @TN511 or Chattanooga area alerts @Chattanooga511. As always, drivers are reminded to use all motorists information tools wisely and Know Before You Go! by checking travel conditions before leaving for your destination. Drivers never tweet, text or talk on a cell phone while behind the wheel.
