Germantown Parkway Southbound Lanes Closed for Bridge Repairs

TDOT crews will close southbound Germantown Parkway for 10 days for bridge repairs.

The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) has announced that contract crews will be closing the southbound lanes of Germantown Parkway for 10 days to perform necessary repairs on the Wolf River Bridge. The closure will begin on Friday, April 12 at 8:00 pm and continue through Monday, April 22 at 6:00 am.

During the 10-day closure, crews will use hydro-demolition techniques to work on the bridge deck and apply a new polymer concrete overlay. The polymer-modified concrete has strict temperature restrictions, and all work is weather-dependent. While the southbound lanes will be closed, the northbound lanes will remain open.

Travelers can find the latest construction activity and live streaming SmartWay traffic cameras on the TDOT website at www.TNSmartWay.com/Traffic. They can also dial 511 for travel information or follow TDOT on Twitter at https://twitter.com/myTDOT for statewide travel updates.

TDOT reminds drivers to use all motorist information tools wisely and to always check travel conditions before leaving for their destination. Drivers should never tweet, text, or talk on a cell phone while behind the wheel.
