FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — Preliminary work is set to begin on Franklin's East Main Street bridge on August 24.
The project, which NewsChannel 5 reported on in June, will force a partial closure of the bridge.
Motorists can expect intermittent flagging operations on the bridge when the preliminary work starts. Those operations will be between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Once demolition and construction starts, one lane of travel will be open in each direction with the possibility of occasional flagging, according to TDOT.
Any work that requires the full bridge to be closed will occur at night be communicated prior to it happening.
TDOT says the project is estimated to be completed in summer 2028.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
