Jackson, Tenn. – The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) contract crews will implement temporary lane closures on SR 128 over Pickwick Dam Bridge in the coming weeks. These closures are necessary to ensure the safety of both workers and the motoring public during bridge maintenance.
Starting August 19, 2024, the lane closures will occur from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Saturday. The closures will be flagged intermittently in the north and southbound lanes, with at least one lane remaining open at all times.
