Blasting work to slow I-75 South traffic
Motorists traveling on Interstate 75 South in Knox County should be aware of upcoming road construction that will temporarily affect traffic.
At approximately 1 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 18, rolling roadblocks will be in place on I-75 South beginning at Exit 117 (Raccoon Valley Road) as crews perform blasting activities near the Exit 112 (Emory Road/Powell) ramp.
The rolling roadblocks will allow crews to safely clear any debris that may land on the roadway. The closures are expected to last approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
The schedule is contingent on favorable weather conditions.
Motorists should expect delays and use caution in the area as workers will be present.
