East Tennessee Road Repairs Focus on Safety and Efficiency

In East Tennessee, a series of lane closures and resurfacing operations are underway across Anderson, Dyer, Gibson, Henry, and Shelby counties throughout August 2025. The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) is prioritizing vital repairs and resurfacing of key highways including parts of I-75 and US Route 45. Measures include replacing aging pavement, improving signage, and upgrading drainage systems to reduce flood risks. Increased night work hours reflect TDOT’s intent to accelerate progress while mitigating daytime traffic disruption. Motorists are advised to heed posted speed limits and stay aware of changed traffic patterns. These projects are crucial for maintaining highway safety and supporting regional commerce by reducing accident risks and improving travel times.
