MEMPHIS, Tenn. – As work progresses on State Route 385 in Shelby County, workers will close Raleigh-Lagrange Road between State Route 205 (Collierville-Arlington Road) and Fisherville Road beginning Tuesday, August 24 at 5:00 a.m.until Thursday, August 26 at 9:00 p.m. for construction of the new Raleigh-Lagrange/State Route 385 overpass.
