TDOT Crews to Perform Maintenance on Ditches and Pipes
 and Replace Cross Drains on SR-60 in Bradley County

Intermittent Lane Closures Expected

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Beginning on Wednesday, January 2, 2019 and lasting through the month of February 2019, TDOT crews will be performing maintenance on the ditches and pipes, including removing and replacing deteriorating cross drains, on State Route 60 (Georgetown Rd.) from Eureka Rd. (log mile 19.94) to the Hamilton County Line (log mile 25.06).  This work will take place between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. EST on weekdays and will require intermittent lane closures as the work progresses.  This work is being performed ahead of a resurfacing project on SR-60 that is scheduled to begin later in 2019.

After the cross drains have been replaced, the riding surface might be rougher than before.  Crews will monitor and mitigate these areas until the resurfacing project begins later in 2019.

Drivers are encouraged to use caution as they travel though this area.

This work is weather dependent.  Should inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances delay this work, it will be rescheduled to take place as soon as possible.

In 2016, the Tennessee Department of Transportation lost three workers in the line of duty. All three were struck by passing motorists. Those tragedies bring the total number of TDOT lives lost to 112. We don’t want to lose another member of our TDOT family. We’re asking you to WORK WITH US.
