The Tennessee Department of Transportation says road and bridge work in Coffee and Franklin counties will affect travel during the Nov. 5-11 reporting period, including construction on SR-55 in Tullahoma and a weekend closure at I-24 Exit 111.
In Tullahoma, Phase 3 of widening and bridge replacement on SR-55 (Wilson Avenue), from First Avenue to SR-16 (U.S. 41A/North Jackson Street), will continue this week, with three lanes reduced to two and one lane maintained in each direction, according to TDOT. The agency says intermittent flagging is possible for construction and vehicles entering or leaving the work zone.
TDOT says I-24 and SR-55 at Exit 111 are scheduled for a full weekend closure from 9 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6, through 6 a.m. Monday, Nov. 9, for demolition of the SR-55 South bridge. Interstate traffic will be routed over the exit ramps, while SR-55 over I-24 will be closed with a signed detour; drivers traveling to Manchester can use Exit 110 or Exit 114, according to the announcement. TDOT says the left lane in both directions on I-24 will close at 7 p.m. Friday and reopen by 6 a.m. Monday, and a 12-foot width restriction applies on all ramps at Exit 117.
Elsewhere in Coffee County, the agency says a bridge on SR-127 is closed until Aug. 12, 2027, with a signed detour in place. On SR-64, lane closures are scheduled for coring on Tuesday, Nov. 10, between the Bedford and Cannon county lines, with Nov. 12 listed as a weather makeup day if needed, according to TDOT. In Franklin County, the agency says flagger-assisted lane closures on Old Tullahoma Road between Audubon Road and Bible Crossing Road are scheduled through Nov. 20, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.; similar work on Cowan Road between Rogers and Jackson streets is scheduled through Dec. 2 during the same hours. TDOT also says daily lane closures are planned for resurfacing on SR-15 between Belvidere Lane and Veterans Memorial Drive, with one lane in each direction maintained.
