Lane Closures on I-40 in Putnam County to Begin

 

 

 

These lane closures are necessary to allow the contractor to repair a damaged bridge beam. One lane of traffic on I-40 West and on SR-111 North will be maintained at all times during this period. Some traffic delays are expected, and at times could be quite lengthy. 

 

The contractor for the $185,282 project is Mid-State Construction Company, Inc. from Livingston, TN. The project’s estimated completion date is September 30, 2011.
