NOTICE OF PAVEMENT RESURFACING
Information from TDOT and contractors:
Beginning Tuesday, October 21st, crews with Summers-Taylor will begin work on a pavement resurfacing project. The first step will consist of milling sections of three roads.
On Wednesday, October 22nd, crews will begin paving a segment (0.64 miles) of Erwin Highway from 11E to the Greeneville and Tusculum city-limit line.
When this section is complete, they will move paving operations to a 1.92-mile segment of Old Shiloh Road from Old Tusculum Road to Shiloh Road.
Next, paving will move to E Church Street to pave 1.2 miles between Bernard and Buckingham Drive (near Stratford Dr.).
The attached maps show the project areas.
We anticipate that all three roads will be paved within 2 weeks, weather permitting. Flagging operations will occur at all locations, with no closures anticipated. After the paving is complete, permanent striping will be installed.
As more information changes or becomes available, we will continue to share updates.
