Roadblocks set on I-75
Motorists traveling on Interstate 75 near Emory Road (State Route 131) in Knox County should be aware of upcoming road construction activities that will temporarily affect traffic.
Utility work originally scheduled for Monday, March 16, was postponed because of inclement weather.
Beginning at approximately 1 p.m. Thursday, March 19, rolling roadblocks will take place on Interstate 75 South starting at Exit 117 (Raccoon Valley Road) and on Interstate 75 North starting at Exit 108 (Merchants Drive) as crews perform utility work in the area.
Each rolling roadblock is expected to last about 10 to 15 minutes. Traffic will be allowed to move through the area between roadblocks, and all work is expected to be completed by 1:30 p.m. that day.
The schedule is contingent on favorable weather. Motorists are advised to expect delays and use extreme caution in the area because workers will be present.
