Beginning on Sunday, September 27, traffic will be adjusted on the State Route 6/Nashville Pike East and West Fork bridges. On the East Fork Bridge, the center gore (area separating opposing traffic lanes) will be narrowed. On the West Fork Bridge, the two-way center turn lane located over the bridge will close, and the left-turn lane onto Douglas Bend Road will be reduced to approximately 250 feet. All existing travel lanes will remain open on both bridges.

These traffic changes are anticipated to remain in place for approximately 10 months. You can find more information on this project on TDOT’s SR 6 (Nashville Pike) Bridges project webpage.

The project is estimated to be complete in winter 2029.

Awarded to Bell & Associates, this project will fully replace both bridges, both originally constructed in 1955. Along with modernization and enhanced safety, the project includes wider shoulders for future multimodal accommodations to enhance mobility for motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists while addressing existing operational and load limitations for the traveling public.
