**Notice from TDOT**
The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) would like to provide an update regarding ongoing construction activities on the Snapps Ferry Bridge located within the Greeneville city limits.
On the evening of October 5th, the contractor removed the concrete barrier from the eastbound lane of the bridge. As a result, all four lanes of the bridge are now open to traffic.
Although the bridge has been reopened to full capacity, the contractor still has minor remaining construction activities necessary to complete the project. These activities will be performed behind temporary construction barrels, which will be placed at the beginning of each work period and removed at the end of that work period. This approach allows the contractor to safely complete the remaining work while significantly reducing the overall impact to the motoring public.
